Carlton Academy Trust is an award winning, Bradford-based Trust with a powerful story. Formed in 2019,it was inspired by the remarkable transformation of its founding school, Carlton Bolling - once labelled “The Most Broken School in the Country, but transformed into an Ofsted Outstanding, World Class School, and Secondary School of the Year in less than 4 years.
That same belief in transformation drives our work today. Now supporting nine schools – three secondary, three primary, and three special – we serve nearly 5,000 students and employ over 980 staff. In 2022, we became one of the first to be recognised as a World Class Trust by the World Class Schools Quality Mark.
Our mission, Excellence for All, sits at the heart of everything we do. We are committed to sustainable growth, with a plan to expand to around 15 schools so we can continue offering high-quality, focused support and ensure every school has the chance to achieve Outstanding status.
We believe in empowering our people. Across the Trust, you’ll find a culture of openness, innovation, and professional trust. Staff at every level are supported to lead, think differently, and shape provision that truly meets the needs of their students.
We also know that wellbeing matters. That’s why we take work-life balance seriously – ensuring high standards are achieved within the school day, not beyond it. We take a holistic approach to staff wellbeing though our innovative Carlton Cares programme, offering tailored support for physical, mental and financial wellbeing.
Our trust-wide commitment also includes:
Smarter, more efficient systems to reduce unnecessary workload
A clear cap on after-school commitments (just one meeting or event per week)
Shorter, more focused school days with earlier finish times
Early finishes on Fridays in some schools
If you're looking to be part of a values-led, forward-thinking trust that champions excellence and supports its people to thrive, Carlton Academy Trust could be the perfect next step in your career.
