In the village of Castor, very close to Peterborough. We are the local school for the villages of Castor and Ailsworth, as well as Marholm, Upton and Sutton. The school is set in its own grounds in the centre of the village, adjacent to the Church of St Kyneburgha, with which we have very close links.  

Dear Parents and Carers

We still have a few spaces across our year groups across the school. 

There will be two tours of the school with Mrs Phillips (Acting Headteacher) on Wednesday 25th September.  These are from 9.30am to 10.30am and from 1.30pm to 2.30pm.  Do please come along if you are thinking of applying for a place for your child starting school in September 2025 or if you are interested in any other in year applications. 

If this date is not convenient and you would like to have a look around our lovely village school, please email/phone Mrs Baxter-Edwards (officemanager@castor.peterborough.sch.uk/01733 380280).
