On the 11th of May 2009, the school was closed to pupils for a week due to a suspected outbreak of 'Swine Flu'. However, as only a small amount of suspected cases emerged (along with an even smaller amount of confirmed cases), the school was open for last year pupils to take their GCSE(General Certificates of Secondary Education)examinations. Students were noted on the schools website for having dealt with the situation maturely.
Castle View School is going to be relocated to a brand new building located in the centre of Canvey town in January 2012. Until that time, Key Stage 3 students are located in a self-contained area at the site of the new building, but screened from the building work which is in its final stages at the end of 2011. Key Stage 4 students are located at the Meppel Avenue site until the new building is completed.
The current Castle View School site will be used to build a new vocational education centre.
