Building on common ground – Castle Tower Special School

The three schools are also involved in ‘Moving Forward Together’, an education, community and peace building partnership comprised of 19 nursery, primary, special and post-primary schools in the Antrim and Randalstown areas. Though ‘Moving Forward Together’ many joint activities took place including staff training, numeracy, literacy and SEN work. Staff from across each of the schools were able to share good practice and support pupils from across all sectors and communities.
