At CAST, we recognise that every student is a unique individual.
We firmly believe that as educators, we have both the opportunity and the responsibility to make a meaningful difference in the lives of the young people we serve. Our aim is to create an environment where every student can thrive and reach their full potential—regardless of their ability, background, culture, beliefs, or any additional needs. Reflecting our values of respect, resilience and responsibility, we want students to be challenged, to persist in the face of difficulty and to become resilient in overcoming obstacles.
We set high expectations and have ambitious aspirations for all our students. Our focus is on preparing them for life beyond school by recognising, nurturing, and celebrating their individual talents and strengths. We are committed to providing a happy, caring, and well-structured environment where high-quality teaching, learning, and personal development can flourish.
At CAST, we are dedicated to developing confident, capable citizens who are ready to navigate the challenges of the 21st century. We equip our students with the skills and knowledge they need to make informed choices about their futures. Each student during daily tutor time will participate in activities such as the reading programme and assemblies, which are part of our Wider Curriculum offer. The tutor is the first point of contact for students and parents if they are experiencing any problems in school.
When extra support is required tutors can refer to our experienced pastoral team. We are incredibly proud to deliver an Education with Character; an education which challenges, inspires and excites our students.
We value strong partnerships between students, parents, staff, governors, and the wider community. Our teaching and support staff work collaboratively to ensure that students remain at the heart of everything we do. We strive to make every learning experience meaningful, engaging, and where possible, inspiring and challenging - Every Lesson Counts.
