We are an Ofsted Good rated, 11- 16 academy based in the friendly, attractive village of Carlton in Barnsley, South Yorkshire. The Academy became part of the Outwood Family of Schools in 2016.

We are delighted that in its latest report, Ofsted noted ‘staff morale is high’ and that we offer a ‘well-considered programme of professional development’ which ‘ensures that staff continuously improve their skills and knowledge.’

We believe that learning should be both enjoyable and enriching. We are innovators with a knowledge-rich curriculum, designed to personalise learning for every student, helping them to reach their potential.

With a holistic view of education, we value vocational, practical, creative and academic excellence equally, creating an environment where every student can shine.

We are also proud to have been awarded Bronze Status by the Carnegie Centre of Excellence for Mental Health Award.
