The Carlton Academy is a secondary school in Nottinghamshire previously known as The Weldon School and Sports Academy. The school is sponsored by the Redhill Academy Trust and was judged as being a good school by OFSTED in 2013.
The Academy has 800 students across years 7 to 11 and a sixth form of 100 students. In September 2014, students at a local school, Sherwood EACT were moved to the academy, which announced that students in Years 7 and 8 would not be able to continue attending their school as it was due to close within two years.
In 2014, students were visited by the local MP Vernon Coaker.
