Missions and Values

At Barnsley Academy we acknowledge that learning is a lifelong journey and that we have a vital part to play in our local community. Our mission, each and every day, is to provide an entitlement to excellence in the services that we offer for our students, our staff, our parents and our community.  Through this we aim to pursue the development of a lifelong love of learning in us all and so bring out the best in everyone.
 
In brief Barnsley Academy exists to:

Enable every individual to discover their talents, skills and interests
Empower everyone involved so that each can maximise their potential
Encourage each individual to know the value of hard work, self-discipline, service and tolerance
Establish a Personal Best driven approach to the way we live our lives
At the heart of everything at Barnsley Academy are our core values and these are the foundation on which all else is based.

We value:

Honesty
Creativity
Aspiration
Achievement
Our Environment
Each Other

These values provide us with the basis from which we can agree to move forward together, our stepping-stones to success. We are proud of these Christian values which we live by and which enable us to welcome those from all faiths or none.
