You are here: Parents - Parent Advice Zone
Parents recently completed a survey about the education & service provided for their children by Castleford Academy. Some comments suggested that parents would welcome some support & guidance in a number of areas concerning their child’s upbringing & well being. As a response to this we have decided to add a new area to the school website.
Welcome to the Parent Advice Zone. The following websites provide information for parents on an assortment of issues concerning young people.
