The Castle School is a coeducational secondary school and sixth form with academy status, located in Thornbury, South Gloucestershire, England, which serves the town and the surrounding villages. Pupils from Bristol also attend the school. There are around 1,189 pupils, including 360 in the sixth form.
The main school site on Park Road has seen additions in recent years including the community sports centre,[1] and the Octagon art gallery[2][3] and classroom. The Gloucester Road buildings approximately half a mile away are primarily used as the sixth form centre, but also house the vocational faculty used by lower years.[4]
Former headmaster Adrian Verwoert was appointed a CBE for services to education in May 2004.[5] Joining the school in 1980, he was appointed as head in 1988. He was succeeded by Melanie Warnes in September 2004. She left in 2014.[6]
