We are proud to be part of and have strong links with different partners. Each of these links benefit children in the school in different ways.

Castle Head FSC Field Centre

Castle Head Field Centre is located within the village of Lindale; just a 10 minute walk from school. We work closely with staff from the field centre on area of the curriculum such as geography, history and  science.

Reception and Year 1 and 2: Reception spend a morning at Castle Head and year 1 and 2 spend a day and evening at Castle Head linked to their class topics. Year 1 and 2 also have opportunities to learn about their own abilities.

Year 5 and 6: Our oldest children spend a day at Castle Head with our friends from Selside Primary in the autumn term, called Leadership Day.  They are presented with a variety of challenges throughout the day where they develop their teamwork skills, supporting and leading one another.

Curriculum work with Castle Head

We have studied the history of Lindale and in particular the influence of John Wilkinson. We had a fantastic whole school History day where everyone dressed as characters from different periods of the village’s history.  We had a wonderful assortment of highway men, Victorian ladies and labourers and current day walkers.

Selside Endowed C of E Primary School

We are proud to have a close partnership with Selside School. This allows our children and staff to work together and share ideas. We believe it is vital that our pupils have a range of opportunities to socialise with children from other schools.  Throughout the year, we organise several joint events.  Our Key Stage 2 children go on residentials together:  Year 3 and 4 went to Sedbergh for 2 nights and Year 5 and 6 went to Ingleton for 3 nights.  They begin with a day on the lake (kayaking, canoeing or paddle-boarding) and then travel out to the dales for fellwalking, caving and climbing.
