Background
History
Shafton Advanced Learning Centre was established in 2011 following the merger of Priory School and Sports College and Willowgarth High School. It was a community school administered by Barnsley Metropolitan Borough Council. Initially based over both former school sites, the school relocated to a new campus in 2012. In March 2015, Shafton Advanced Learning Centre converted to academy status and was renamed Outwood Academy Shafton. The school is now sponsored by Outwood Grange Academies Trust, but continues to coordinate with Barnsley Metropolitan Borough Council for admissions.
