CN CORE VALUES

Welcome to Castle Newnham – a school at the heart of and for the local community. We are very proud to be the Headteachers of this lovely school in the heart of Bedford offering high-quality education and care for pupils from Reception up to age 16.

Our CORE values of Community, Opportunity, Respect and Excellence  underpin our work across our whole school and help guide us in serving our children and families.

This is an exciting new chapter for the school as Castle Newnham joined the Bedfordshire Schools Trust (BEST) in September 2024.
