Carlton Primary School believes in building the self-confidence required to achieve high aspirations and positively contribute as active members of society. We celebrate the uniqueness of our children and believe that every child should be given the opportunity to let their light shine.

Carlton is a 1.5 form entry primary school regarded locally as being the focal point of our community and is extremely well supported. We are committed to the provision of high-quality education which is underpinned by our ethos of promoting each child’s individuality in a caring, secure and stimulating learning environment. We also place great emphasis on the professional development of our staff. Our school is set in the village of Carlton between Wakefield and Leeds and was established during the the Victorian era.

Children are happy, safe and well behaved. They enjoy a creative and innovative curriculum that prepares them for life beyond their school years. Staff feel well supported by leaders and are united in a shared vision to provide pupils with the best possible education.
