It is with great pride and excitement that I welcome you to Carlton Bolling.

We are delighted to share that Carlton Bolling was awarded an “Outstanding” rating by Ofsted in 2023. This recognition is a reflection of the unwavering dedication, passion, and collaboration of our staff, students, and families. It affirms our commitment to providing a nurturing, high-achieving environment where every child is empowered to thrive.

At the heart of our school is the ethos of “Excellence for All.” Our vision is to foster uncompromising aspirations and to be an exceptional and inspirational community of lifelong learners. This vision is underpinned by our core values of Ambition, Respect, and Resilience, which guide every aspect of school life.

We are proud to be a TES Secondary School of the Year Nominee 2025 and a Healthy Relationships Champion School, further demonstrating our commitment to academic excellence and student well-being.

Our curriculum is broad, inclusive, and enriched with opportunities that prepare students for life in modern Britain. Beyond academic success, we place great emphasis on character development, leadership, and community engagement.

Staff at Carlton Bolling are passionate professionals who are supported to innovate and lead. As Ofsted noted, the quality of teaching and learning is a significant strength, and our mantra—“Everyone belongs”—is lived out daily in our inclusive and supportive culture.

We also believe in the power of partnership. Through Partners in Excellence, we work closely with parents and carers to support every child’s holistic development. Our connections with local businesses and community organisations provide students with real-world experiences that inspire them to become compassionate, responsible citizens.

As the founding school of the Carlton Academy Trust, we are proud to lead by example and support others on their journey to excellence.

These are exciting times at Carlton Bolling, and I warmly invite you to be part of our journey.
