Castleford Wheldon Infant School and Nursery

We're delighted to welcome you to our school community — a place where children are nurtured and inspired to thrive. Our school is a vibrant and inclusive setting offering places for 45 pupils per year group, which allows us to create a close-knit and supportive learning environment.

We're proud to have an on-site Nursery offering both 15-hour and 30-hour places (39 in each session). This gives our youngest learners a strong and confident start to their school life in a well-equipped, caring environment. Thanks to a growing local community and the popularity of our breakfast and after-school clubs, pupil numbers remain steady.

We're also fortunate to have spacious grounds, a much-loved Forest School, and provision based learning across the whole school that allows children to enjoy both indoor and outdoor learning every day. Year 2/1 – 15 year 2 15 year 1 - this is split on age. The oldest year 1 children and the youngest year 2 children.

Our classrooms are thoughtfully arranged by key stage, with designated outdoor areas for Nursery, Reception and Key Stage One. We have shared spaces for intervention and small group work.
