Our School
Our mission is to provide a world class education, so students have the choice to attend a top university or a real alternative. Our mission is underpinned by our shared values of ambition, determination, and respect which drive our thinking and behaviours.
Our most recent Ofsted inspection judged the academy ‘Good’ in every aspect of our provision. High expectations of behaviour and learning are established resulting in a calm and purposeful environment.
Barnsley Academy is part of United Learning, one of the largest groups of schools in England aiming to offer a life changing education to children and young people. Schools within United Learning work as a team and achieve more by sharing than any single school could. By collecting expertise and combining resources, we help to make the tough job of teaching a little easier. With a shared curriculum and lesson plans from around the group available to all, our teachers have strong foundations to lead the engaging, rounded education our children deserve. Our intranet site, United Hub, is just one example of how we share this resource and communicate across sites, helping to simplify processes and manage workloads for an improved work-life balance. We reward our staff: with wide career opportunities – between Primary and Secondary, Academy and Independent – better pay, benefits, and ultimately the satisfaction of helping every child at each of our schools to succeed and reach their full potential.
