Each year the children raise money for a range of charities. recent community links have involved the children in a related arts project with the National Trust. Some of the school's student poets have had their work published nationally.Culworth is 'a church school working within the community with a hardworking, stable team of staff'. Pupils 'achieve well' in all key subject areas. 'They enjoy a challenging, caring atmosphere in which they thrive and develop their talents and interests to the full'.
