The Carlton Academy is a secondary school in Nottinghamshire, previously known as The Wheldon School and Sports Academy.[2] The school is sponsored by the Redhill Academy Trust,[3] and was judged as being a good school by OFSTED in 2013.[4] This was reaffirmed in 2017.[5]

The Academy has 800 students across years 7 to 11 and a sixth form of 100 students. In September 2014, students from the local Sherwood E-Act Academy which was to close, were moved to the academy. Students in Years 7 and 8 at Sherwood would not have been able to continue their education there and were integrated into Carlton.[6]
