It gives me immense pride to welcome you to this outstanding Local Authority special school, dedicated to children aged 4-11 years old with complex learning difficulties, including autism and other sensory impairments. Our school is a nurturing environment where every child is valued and supported, even those with challenging behaviours.

At Castlebar, we take immense pride in our pupil’s achievements. Our children make remarkable progress, particularly in communication, independence, and socialisation. They are truly exceptional, and we are committed to providing them with the best possible education and care.

Our staff are not only hardworking and dedicated but also highly skilled. They collaborate with other professionals to ensure that our school offers the highest quality provision. We believe in a strong partnership with our parents and carers, working together to support each child’s journey through Castlebar School.

Whether you are an existing Castlebar parent, a new parent seeking the right school for your child, or a teacher/support staff looking for your next career opportunity, I hope you find all the information you need here. If you have any questions or suggestions for additional information on our website, please do not hesitate to contact us.
