Academy Values & Vision

Our vision and our values have been arrived at after consultation with staff and students at Barnsley Academy. 

Every decision we take, from appointing staff, to creating policies and deciding student pathways, is made using these values. We expect all staff to exhibit them and use them in decision-making. We encourage all young people, and their families, to work within these values.
