Outwood Academy Shafton (formerly Shafton Advanced Learning Centre) is a mixed secondary school located in Shafton, South Yorkshire, England.[1]

The school was established in 2011 following the merger of Priory School and Sports College and Willowgarth High School. Initially based over both former school sites, Shafton Advanced Learning Centre moved to a new campus in 2012.

Previously a community school administered by Barnsley Metropolitan Borough Council, Shafton Advanced Learning Centre converted to academy status in March 2015 and was renamed Outwood Academy Shafton. The school is now sponsored by the Outwood Grange Academies Trust,[2] but continues to coordinate with Barnsley Metropolitan Borough Council for admissions.
