‘We’re no strangers to love!’ - 8Set1 Latinists have just been RickRolled by their Latin teacher. Latin is Life…. #CastleCourtCreative @rickastley

Things of a piratey nature are occurring at Me Hearty High School in #CastleCourtYear4 ARRRRRR!! A brilliant opportunity for our children to grow in confidence and dramatic skills! #CastleCourtCreative #IamCCS

Today has been all about the #NativityPlay with performances by children from @CastleCourtBadg @CastleCourtRec @CastleCourtYr1 @CastleCourtYr2 #Christmas really is now here! #CastleCourtDrama #CastleCourtCreative

Thank you to Old Castellan Scott Montague who joined us today for the latest in the Scott Series of Lectures. Scott returned to talk through how his love of drama began at Castle Court. He has now taken two productions to the #EdinburghFringe #CastleCourtCreative #SchoolDrama #IAmCCS

Thanks for inviting us @BryanstonSchool and @BryanstonMusic - our pupils had a great time and their parents loved the concert.

Great working together in a #CastleCourtMusic lesson composing #Lyrics to an #OldTune #JohnBrownsBody #CastleCourtCollaboration #NewTechnologyInSchool #CastleCourtCreative

Wonderful to see our Year 8s leading with confidence at our Harvest Festival today. #Publicspeaking is a core area of @psbacc for #CastleCourtEnglish as we acknowledge what an invaluable #lifeskill this is. #Dorsetprepschool #CastleCourtCommitted #LearningSkillsTrust

#HarvestFestival enjoyed by the whole school community in our #SportsHall collecting donations for the #CorfeMullenFoodBank A lovely community way to end the week #CastleCourCollaborative #IAmCCS #DorsetPrepSchool

@DurlstonMusic Thanks for hosting @DurlstonMusic. A great day of INSET; informative & engaging. @iapsuk @StMargaretsPrep @TwynhamSchool @clayesmoreprep @Clayesmore @SherborneMusic @thomashardye @YarrellsSchool @CastleCourtPrep @TalbotHeathSch

Today the Music Department hosted the annual ATB5 Music Conference, welcoming teachers from local schools. We looked at ABRSM, Vocal Health in children and the Dalcroze method. Fascinating stuff. #looktodurlston #artsmark #looktoinspire

@CastleCourtClas It’s a pleasure!

Thank you, @CastleCourtMus for encouraging even more of this during our singing rehearsal today.

We’ve been majoring on this, following @CastleCourtHead’s Assembly about @charliemackesy’s ‘The boy, The Mole, The Fox and The Horse’. Life-lessons coming to the fore through a @psbacc approach. #CastleCourtCollaborative Yr6 Latinists are great at asking for help!

St. Peter’s is hosting a fun musical event for boys aged 7-11, giving them the opportunity to become a chorister for a day! This will take place on Wednesday 27th September, 5.30 to 7pm. It's free of charge, but places are limited, book your place here: …foundation.stpetersbournemouth.org.uk/boys/be-a-chor…

Can’t wait to hear organist @annalapwood this evening at the late night @bbcproms concert! Great to see the venue so busy!

@annalapwood @bbcproms @belli_olivia I’ll be there - looking forward to it! 🎹

The slightly surreal moment you see yourself on a tube advert…!! 🤯 Just 3 days to go until @bbcproms incl. music from Interstellar & a glorious new piece by @belli_olivia. Let me know if you’re going to be there! Can you tell I’m a little bit excited…. bbc.co.uk/events/en8fbp

Another #seniorproduction at @CastleCourtPrep done & dusted. 8 months of planning and 6 months of rehearsals, culminating with the most amazing performance ever for a group of very talented 10-13 year olds. So proud. #matilda #performingarts #prepschooldorset #CastleCourtCreative

@CastleCourtClas It might be. “Sometimes you’ve got to be a little bit naughty…” #castlecourtdrama #performingarts #musicaltheatre #IamCCS #prepschooldorset

Latin is everywhere…. Even a chalkboard has been defaced ahead of the Senior Play. Are you responsible for this, @CastleCourtMus? It’s suspiciously close to your piano…. #CastleCourtCreative

More photos from this morning’s musical taster sessions

Excellent to see so many @CastleCourtPrep #CastleCourtYear2 parents & children enjoying some #music instrument demo & taster sessions this am, given by some of our VMTs & older pupils. #CastleCourtCurious #CastleCourtCommitted #CastleCourtCourageous #CastleCourtCreative #IamCCS
