Mr Mycroft said: "Castleway is a special place and we’re delighted to be celebrating this significant milestone for our school.

"Over the years, Castleway has welcomed many amazing individuals through our doors, who have gone on to achieve fabulous things in life. Some ex-pupils are now part of our staff team too."

Mr Mycroft added: "Our children and families really are at the heart of everything we do. Our motto is ‘Be kind. Be confident. Be your best.’ and we understand that a happy and successful school community is built on nurturing open relationships between us all.

"We’d would love it if everyone came together and joined us for this day of joy and celebration.”
