Welcome to Castle School Friends!  

Who are we?
We are a group of parents, grandparents, carers, teachers and friends of The Castle School in Thornbury.  Not just your ordinary PTA, we work with everyone in the local community to improve the school for students and staff alike. 

What do we do?
We run a whole range of activities to support the work of the school and raise vital funds.  We organise hands-on DIY and gardening days that make a real difference to the school environment.  We run fun events that bring people together and create a sense of community.  We explore funding opportunities, apply for grants and manage lots of other fundraising activities to raise money and inspire as many people as possible to get involved in supporting The Castle School.  

With your help, in the 2022/23 school year are supporting the school with over £10,000 of equipment and resources!  This includes microscopes, cameras, musical instruments, books, picnic tables and much more.


How can I get involved?
Our work makes a real difference to the school, and we couldn’t do it without you!  You can support us in lots of different ways, from sharing our Facebook posts, donating old uniform, buying something from our Amazon wishlist, helping out at events or volunteering for our committee.
