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. When you join Castleford Trust, you become part of a team that values collaboration, professional growth, and innovation. We invest in our people through exceptional training and development opportunities, ensuring you have the tools and support to thrive. Our staff turnover is low because we create an environment where talent is nurtured, achievements are celebrated, and everyone feels part of a strong, forward-thinking family of schools.

If you’re passionate about education and want to make a real difference, Castleford Trust is the place for you. Together, we can raise standards, improve life chances, and deliver outstanding provision for every child.
