About Castleford Trust

At Castleford Trust, we believe that the key to our success lies in our people. As a cross-phase Multi Academy Trust of nine schools, three secondary and six primary, we are proud to serve our communities within Wakefield through collaboration, innovation, and a shared commitment to excellence.

Our mission is simple: working together to achieve excellence for all. Every academy within our Trust has a strong moral purpose, striving to make a positive impact on pupils and families by overcoming barriers and delivering an ambitious, engaging curriculum. We ensure no learner is left behind and provide rich experiences that nurture talent in sport, music, drama, art, and technology.

We are deeply committed to our values of Care, Aspire, Succeed and these apply to our staff as much as our pupils.
