Welcome to the website of Castle Lower School in Bedford.

We are a school for pupils between 3 and 9 years of age, situated in a popular and cosmopolitian area, not far from Bedford town centre around Castle and Goldington Roads.  We have striking Victorian buildings, lively and well-behaved children, committed staff, governors and parents, and currently improving academic results.

I have been headteacher here since January 2007. Since taking up appointment I have been deeply committed to helping the school become even more successful. Over the last two years I have been very impressed by the sense of community we have here.

I hope this website will foster that excellent community spirit still further.  Use the menu on the left to navigate around the site.  Whether your interest is as a parent, prospective parent, or a member of the local community, I hope you find the information you need here.  And I expect those of us within the school as staff, pupils or governors to use the website more and more to share information with each other and with our parents and other stakeholders.

Come back again soon - and please tell us what you like and dislike about the site.  You can email the school office at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it
