School description
Castletown lies on the North Coast of Caithness, about five miles east of the town of Thurso on Dunnet Bay. The school currently has a ELC (Early Learning Centre) class for 2-5 year olds and also a primary school for P1-7. The ELC operates 5 days a week from 9am until 3pm. At present there are 66 mainstream pupils and 14 ELC children (as of November 25). The school has 4 main classrooms, a school hall, with a stage and library, other multiple other rooms available for pupil support and meetings. It also has a separate gym building. It has large areas of tarmac and a large pitch for the children to use at playtimes and for sports activities. We also have many areas of playground markings/games on our site as well as an outdoor classroom area, timber trail and sandpit. The children, with the help of the local Countryside Ranger, had developed a Wildlife Area, which is situated at the bottom of the football pitch, containing a pond, trees and a flowerbed. We also have a fenced area of tarmac for ELC.
