Education Homepage

Welcome to education and skills, where you'll find information about learning in Barnsley.  We work, in partnership with schools and many others, to support learners of all ages.  Our aim is to make sure that all learners in Barnsley have access to the highest quality teaching and learning and every opportunity to maximise their potential.

We hope that you can find the information you're looking for, whether you're a parent/carer, a learner, or one of the many professionals who work with our children and young people

You can access the Children and Young People's Plan for Barnsley via the Children and Young People's Strategic Partnership quick link.

This plan sets out the framework within which Education Services, Children's Social Care Services and other partners work together.

In April 2007, Education and Children's Social Care Services were merged to form a new Directorate for Children, Young People and Families, led by Edna Sutton.

Check out  Service Information for information about the local authority's education services.  Here you'll find our key policies, plans and procedures, statistics on how well we're performing, financial information, and details on schools' budgets.

If you can't find what you're looking for, you can use the search facility in the top right hand corner or email cypf@barnsley.gov.uk.  You can also use the same email address to provide feedback on the site and to send us your ideas for improving its content.
