Microsoft Outage – School Emails Not Being Received (13/11/2026)

You may be aware that Microsoft is currently experiencing a global outage. While it is largely unaffecting our school day today and classes continue as normal, it does mean that any emails sent to us from around 3pm yesterday have not been received and we are still not receiving emails today. 

Therefore, please call the school office on 01530 834368 if you need to contact us urgently. We expect that phone lines will be busier than usual so please bear with us. Thank you for your understanding.

Introduction

We are delighted to welcome prospective students and their parents/carers to The Castle Rock School, and we look forward to establishing strong and positive relationships with you. Our aim is for our students to find their future by thinking independently, behaving responsibly and continuing to learn successfully. 

 

 

We are incredibly proud of our transition systems, particularly for those transferring from primary schools to us. Time is taken to get to know our students in advance to enable them to make a positive and strong start to their time at Castle Rock.
