From the Astmoor Primary School
Thank you for visiting Astmoor Primary School and Nursery's website, and welcome. We are a neighbourhood school in Runcorn Town's Castlefields neighbourhood. An adult learning centre and a private daycare are located on the same property as us. The neighbourhood shops, clinic, and community centre are all conveniently located nearby as well. We currently have fewer than 150 students, which enables us to function much like a large family. Positive relationships are at the core of everything we do, and we are proud of the nurturing culture we have fostered at our school. People frequently mention how pleasant our school is when they visit. Our crew is exceptionally dedicated and works incredibly hard to deliver the best education possible. We offer the children at our school a broad, balanced and fun-filled curriculum which is supported by visits out of school and visitors into school. Our facilities are first-rate, and our building is welcoming, bright, and contemporary. We always look for ways to improve, as well as new ideas, and we appreciate the support that parents, carers, and the larger community give us.
