Priory School and Sports College was a comprehensive secondary school in Barnsley, South Yorkshire, England. In September 2011 it merged with Willowgarth High School to form Shafton Advanced Learning Centre (now Outwood Academy Shafton).[1][2] It served the area including Lundwood, Monk Bretton, Cudworth and Cundy Cross.

The school had a mixed intake of both girls and boys, ages 11–16. It was a state community school, administered by Barnsley Metropolitan Borough Council. At the time of its closure in 2011, Bernadette O'Brien was headteacher.[1]

The school's student body was divided into up to eight form groups in each year, dependent on the number of students in the year group, resembling the name of the school: P, R, I, O, V, Y, S and C.{{Citation needed|date=August 2017}}

School logo

The school logo featured a blue forward arrow, on a yellow circular background. It was used frequently and recognised well, featuring on the school uniform.

The school

Priory School and Sports College as of the late 2000s/early 2010s inhabited one central main building and several outer blocks. The school had also recently expanded into the neighbouring former Grange Gate Junior School building, where the canteen was based.

It was proposed for a complete re-build of the school as part of the government's Building Schools for the Future programme, merging with the current Willowgarth High School. The construction of the new merged school is complete, with the merge into the new Shafton ALC premises achieved for January 2012. During September to December 2011, both halves of the new Shafton ALC were operating on their former school sites.

Sports facilities on site included a sports hall, gymnasium, fitness suite, boxing ring, climbing walls, outdoor tennis courts, Astroturf and various sports fields. The school has library and over 50 classrooms, with specialist laboratories and workshops, as well as areas for pupils to go after school.

Partnership

Priory had links with Rock High School in Uganda, Africa, and staff from each of the schools visited its counterpart.

Priory Pop Factor/Priory Pop Stars

The school held an annual bootcamp style singing and dancing workshop, managed by Voicebox Studios. Rehearsals took place during a week of half term and a final performance was presented on a later date, featuring all the acts individually, as well as group songs and dances. Notable mentors include members from the locally established girl bands Sweet Rebellion and The Poppi Chix.
