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

Just to let you know that we still have a few spaces left in our Foundation Class and a couple of other year groups across the school.

We have two meetings planned for prospective new parents/carers on Wednesday 4th October.  The first will be from 9 to 10.30am and the second 1.30 to 3pm.  Each session will consist of a meeting with our Headteacher and a tour of the school.  If you would like to attend, lese email/phone Mrs Baxter-Edwards the Office Manager.

Castor CofE Primary School Daily Start Time:

School Gates open at 8.35am and children line up with their class teachers and are escorted into school at 8:45am.

The gates are locked at 8:50am and any child arriving after this time should be signed in as being late through the office entrance.  

If children arrive via the front office, they will be marked late (or 'late after the register is taken', which affects their overall attendance percentage).

The gates open for parents/carers to collect their children at 3.10pm.  

Children will be released to their parent/carer or designated adult by teachers at 3.15pm.  

If a child is not picked up by 3.30pm, they will be looked after by the school's after school care provision until their parent/carer arrives.  There will be a charge for this service.
