CARLETON ENDOWED CHURCH OF ENGLAND SCHOOL

Church Of England schools have always been community schools, serving all the families and children in the area. Our teaching standards, facilities and results have given Carleton Endowed School a reputation as one of the best primary schools in the district. Occupying a site just outside Skipton, we offer superb facilities in an excellent scenic location.

The word ‘endowed’ in the school title goes back to its Foundress, Elizabeth Wilkinson who endowed the school, leaving farm lands at Bell Busk to finance and house the teacher and original four boys in 1709. The lands are now owned by the school Trustees who administer the trust income for the benefit of the school and former pupils and in extensions of the school in 1964, 1992 and 2000. 2003 saw the completion of a new Learning Resourse Room for the ICT suite and libraries, enabling the school to provide dedicated learning time to specific areas of the curriculum.
