Welcome to Castleford Academy, part of Castleford Trust.  

Our vision of working together to achieve excellence for all is at the heart of everything we do, from corridors and classrooms, to sports pitches and beyond. Every day we aim to create a school where pupils feel safe, supported, challenged and inspired to achieve their very best and achieve their full potential.  

Our core values of Care, Aspire and Succeed reverberate around the academy on a daily basis. They guide our decisions and shape our culture. They encourage our pupils not only to succeed academically but also to grow in confidence, resilience and become upstanding citizens. Every learner leaves the academy with the skills, knowledge and ambition to make informed choices about their own future.  

Castleford Academy is more than a school, it is the heartbeat of the local community and a beacon of aspiration for all those that attend. This is reflected in our fantastic outcomes that consistently place us as one of the best performing schools in Wakefield. We celebrate achievements and attendance; we create lasting memories and open doors to new opportunities. Every member of our fantastic staff plays a part in making Castleford Academy a place where all pupils can achieve and thrive.  

Thank you for visiting our website. I hope it gives you a glimpse into the exciting, caring and ambitious community that is Castleford Academy.
