Information about this school

 Barnsley Academy is smaller than most secondary schools.  The proportion of students who are supported by the pupil premium is well-above average. The pupil premium is additional funding for those students who are known to be eligible for free school meals, children from service families and those children who are looked after by the local authority.  The vast majority of students are White British.  The proportion of students supported through school action is well-below average.  The proportion of students supported by school action plus or with a statement of special educational needs is above the national average.  The proportion of students who join the school at other than normal times is above the national average.  The academy does not meet the government’s current floor standards. These set minimum expectations for students’ attainment and progress in English and mathematics.  A very small number of students are educated off-site at Barnsley College on a part-time basis.
