From the Carleton High School
It has been a delight and an honour to guide the school on its transformational journey to being an Ofsted "Good" school and one of the most improved schools in the nation since I began working there in September 2018.
Carleton High School received a "Good" rating from Ofsted in its inspection conducted in July 2019.
Second, this is the first time in ten years that Carleton High School has received the designation of "Good" school.
The top GCSE scores ever obtained by Carleton High School were ours.
In all major headline metrics, the school outperformed the national average, making Carleton High School one of the best secondary schools in the Wakefield Local Authority for student advancement and one of the best-improving schools in the UK.
Our motto of Culture + Consistency = Excellence remains at the centre of everything we do as we set out on a path to remarkable, which implies that we do not place a cap on the potential of our kids.
No matter where a student starts or what their circumstances are, staff members go above and beyond to ensure they receive a top-notch education and make great development.
Our standards are consistently high for all of the students in our care because we strive to be consistent in everything we do.
We would be happy to meet with you to talk about how Carleton High School might be a part of your future, whether you are a potential student, parent, teacher, or an interested member of the local community.
