Carlton Mills is a proud and vibrant primary school in Bradford, part of the Carlton Academy Trust. We're Ofsted-rated Good (2023) with an Outstanding  Early Years Foundation Stage – and we're not stopping there. In 2024, we celebrated national recognition, winning TES Early Years Setting of the Year, T&A Primary School of the Year, and securing a Silver Award for Pearson’s EYFS Team of the Year. We're also proud to be recognised as a World Class School.

Serving the diverse Manningham and Toller communities, we live and breathe our Trust ethos of Excellence for All. Our children thrive in an inclusive, respectful environment where every child’s voice matters and diversity is celebrated. Families are at the heart of our school – from coffee mornings to end-of-topic celebrations, parents and carers are warmly welcomed into school life.

Our curriculum is fresh, bold, and rooted in real-world learning. With our Real People, Real Places, Real Learning  approach, we spark curiosity, build cultural capital, and raise aspirations. Strong links with local businesses and the wider community ensure our pupils see themselves as capable, connected citizens with a bright future ahead.

Come and be part of something special at Carlton Mills – where every child, every family, and every staff member can flourish.
