We believe in a knowledge-rich curriculum,

have implemented a new Character and
Values Education (CAVE) to ensure that our
pupils are prepared for an ever-changing
future world. As part of this, we have further
enhanced our co- curricular offering, including
our Leadership and Activities Week
programme.
About Us
Castle Court is a day Prep School located in the heart of Dorset; we seek to appoint staff who will be
keen to be involved in the full breadth of school life and supportive of the school’s Christian foundation.
Castle Court was founded in Parkstone, Poole, in 1948 as a day school for boys; in 1968 it moved to its
present site in beautiful grounds on the north edge of Corfe Mullen. In the 1970s we became co
educational and have steadily grown in size: today we have around 280 pupils, aged from 2 to 13.
Our setting is idyllic: 55 acres of magnificent playing-fields, playgrounds, gardens and woods; a school
with stunning facilities, set in rural surroundings, yet easily reached from Bournemouth, Poole,
Dorchester, Ringwood and the Isle of Purbeck.
We have an excellent academic record and other
strengths across the board: in Sport, Music, Art, Drama, Design Technology, and in Outdoor Learning.
