Carleton High School is a coeducational secondary school with academy status, at Carleton in Pontefract, West Yorkshire, England. It is a part of the Pontefract Academies Trust[1] which is a multi-academy organisation with two high schools, Carleton and The Kings' School, and six primary schools.[2][3] It was rated a good school by Ofsted in its full inspection of the school in July 2019.[4]
Community
[edit]The school has close links with the community, frequently becoming involved in both local and national charity work.[5] As a centre for learning, the facilities are open to adults through adult evening classes, and to their partner primary schools. Carleton High School have a programme of performing arts and sports events.
During summer 2018, the school had a complete rework. The project was led by John Osborne, director of Wakefield District Housing Schools Solutions.[6]
The controversial decision was made to make the uniform only accessible from an online retailer. This sparked a Change.org petition which gathered over 900 signatures to revert the change. This decision was later reversed due to pressure from the community.[7]
