Our vision, purpose, values and strategic priorities help to steer the college and ensure that our focus is on helping our students to achieve the very best.

Delivering a beyond outstanding experience for both our students and staff and being Ofsted inspection-ready is our key focus.

Seven key themes underpin our ambition to reach outstanding and beyond, each area driving our teaching and learning. These are English and maths provision; Higher Education; Information, Advice and Guidance (IAG); apprenticeships; adults and the sixth form.

We aim to deliver the highest quality provision for students, staff and our stakeholders to help them aspire to reach their full potential.

Reputation
We are really proud of Barnsley and the communities we work with. We aim to continue to build strong links with students, staff, schools, and businesses, reinforcing our place in the local community as an outstanding education provider. Our students go on to do amazing things after leaving us, whether that is through work or further study, and our alumni prove we are achieving our vision of transforming lives.

As we strive for beyond outstanding, our brand and reputation, as well as the quality and financial position of the college, underpins our ability to recruit students and engage with external audiences.

Sustainability
We need to safeguard the college for the future, making sure we generate enough cash each year to continue to provide an outstanding experience for our students and staff during their time with us. This involves investing in our buildings, facilities, staffing, equipment and IT infrastructure.
