A leading independent day and boarding school near Kirkby Lonsdale
for boys from 3-11 years and girls from 3-18 years
At Casterton we fully recognise the need to create a Sixth Form environment that acknowledges the maturity of our students, preparing them for university and adulthood.
Teaching is in small groups which encourages stimulating and lively discussion and ensures attention to individual needs. The relationship with the staff is more informal and girls have more responsibility for their own research and reading, and the management of their time
Girls enjoy the breadth of subject choice and depth of study of their chosen subjects. At every stage they are given the stimulus, guidance and encouragement they need to become confident, articulate students.
Casterton offers an abundance of opportunities outside the classroom.
You will have the opportunity to participate in a wide range of activities. You can take part in a wide range of clubs after school or at weekends.
At school you can run clubs, take part in drama productions, musical activities, participate in the Duke of Edinburgh Award Scheme and a host of other opportunities. You can join school teams for debating, Eco-Warriors, hockey, lacrosse, tennis or swimming.
Girls can also take private lessons for drama, to follow the LAMDA exams, tennis with our professional LTA coach and for musical instruments.
We encourage girls to take on responsibilities whether it be as a House Captain in Lower Sixth, running a Society or to be a prefect in Upper Sixth.
