Barnsley Academy is strongly behind the campaign to give every child the chance of five hours of sport every week which was announced by the Prime Minister, Gordon Brown.

He called for a 'united team effort' in the run up to 2012 to make sport a part of every child's day. Building a greater sporting nation and a fitter nation. Involving schools, parents, volunteers, coaches and the sports world to offer the equivalent of an hour of sport to every child, every day of the school week.

It is the intention of Barnsley Academy to have up to five hours of sport per week for all pupils and three hours for young people aged 16-19.
