Spot the difference...

For the eagle eyed amongst you, you may have noticed some small changes on our website and e mail signatures?

Supplying services to the Education Sector is a complex and time consuming proposition and at Castles we have traditionally delivered two principle services through our Teacher Recruitment operations and in running and operating our own Independent Alternative Provision (AP) Schools. We have made no secret that AP was ultimately where we wanted operate fully, albeit we would move to this position over the next few years.

Even with the very best plans however - things change and due to the overwhelmingly positive interest in our AP offering and the volume of current / new referrals we have decided as a Board of Partners to nail our colours to the mast and to concentrate our efforts in this area alone now, ahead of our original plan.

The separation of our recruitment services was always planned to happen but the decision to do this now, much sooner than we envisaged is a hugely positive vote of confidence from both our customers, pupils and owners in the services we are providing and our own ‘future’.

So whats changed?

For our AP customers- nothing, except that it wouldn’t be appropriate to represent our membership in various recruitment frameworks and industry bodies here on this website as they are no longer relevant to our activities and could be considered misleading to those that don’t recognise them. With this decision in mind we have removed both our APSCO membership logos and our Crown Supplier Logos (see below).

We will now move forward and focus all of our Castles resources into our Independent Schools / Castles Futures offering alone and into creating outstanding environments for our learners.

We hope that this news will be received very positively as we believe strongly that it is a great vote of confidence in the future of our AP activities. We have made no secret that AP was our ultimate focus and this decision means that we can now concentrate 100% of our efforts to help those in our care sooner rather than later.

If you have any questions about this change and how it might affect our services or our relationship with you in any way, please get in touch here.
