Watch a child working with clay and you'll notice how quiet they go.

In a world of quick swipes and constant notifications, our pupils spend 100 minutes a week in the art room working slowly with their hands. They mix colour until it's right, shape clay, and let their imaginations run free.

This kind of deep, unhurried focus is getting harder to find, and it's something we value enormously at Castle Park.

So when this term's masterpiece arrives home, before it goes on the fridge door, try asking "how did you make it?" You might be surprised by how much they have to tell you...

This is Castle Park.

Two minutes of school life, brought together in one film. One to watch with sound!

The classrooms. The sports field. The pool. Music. Art. Drama. Forest School. Teachers. Friends. The little moments in between.

There is a lot that happens at Castle Park – and this film gives you a glimpse of it.

Our new website is live too, with much more to explore.

Have a look at the film, and then take a look around the new site.

Our Castle Park Swimathon is now underway!

From 20th–26th April, our pupils, staff, families and members of the public are invited to swim together in support of the Gavin Glynn Foundation, a wonderful charity helping families across Ireland who are fighting childhood cancer.

Our goal is to collectively swim the distance from Dublin to New York, while raising €5,000 for this incredible cause. We have pool slots available throughout the week and welcome anyone who would like to take part.

Can't make it to the pool? You can still make a difference by donating, just scan the QR code in our poster.

Thank you for your support. Together, we can make this a memorable week for a very worthy cause.

🌿 Walk This Way: CP Steps Ahead 🌿

Friday morning’s assembly marked the beginning of something special for our school.

As part of celebrating our Green Flag status, we launched 'Walk This Way: CP Steps Ahead' - a pupil-led campaign encouraging children to walk, scoot or cycle to school.

We were delighted to welcome Castle Park alumnus Jamie Casey ( ) to the assembly to share his experience of running from Malin Head to Mizen Head, a powerful reminder for our pupils of what consistency and determination can achieve.

At the heart of our campaign are three simple ideas:
🧠 Healthy Body, Healthy Mind - a short walk before school helps children feel settled and ready to learn.
🌱 Fewer Cars, Cleaner Air - small changes can make a real difference to the environment around our school.
🛡️ Safe Start, Safe Finish - less congestion creates a safer space for everyone at drop-off and pick-up.

We know mornings are busy, but even walking one or two days a week, or parking a little further away, can make a real difference.

Will you take the first step with us?

There’ll be time for a chat, a coffee, and a proper feel for the environment.

If you have friends, neighbours or family starting to think about school, feel free to pass this on - we’d love to meet them.

Happy 122nd Birthday, Castle Park! 🎉

Yesterday, we celebrated CP Day - Castle Park’s birthday! From our whole-school Assembly and the cutting of the birthday cake to the much-loved Crocodile Game, hot chocolate, and a photo scavenger hunt, the day was filled with fun, tradition, and lasting memories.

A wonderful celebration of our school, our community, and everything that makes Castle Park so special. 🎂
