Charities
Our school supports a number of very worthwhile charities throughout the school year. Our children help to raise money to support the most vulnerable in our society and those who are less fortunate than ourselves. At Castletown Primary, we all believe in being a helpful friend to others.
Charities supported by our school are shown below.

Through these activities, we not only raise valuable funds but also help children understand the importance of kindness, generosity and supporting others in need. |
