Sheffield High School 'Goes for It'!

Sheffield High School has been delighted to receive the Go4It Award recently. This award is presented each year to only a handful of schools in the country which encourage a positive “can do” approach in their pupils and which provide a wide range of opportunities in creativity, enterprise, innovation and risk taking.

We received the Go4It Award for our 'can-do' approach

We are always looking at how we can move forward even further to ensure that we continue to equip all our girls for the challenges of life in the 21st Century. Above all, this means fostering in the girls the confidence which enables them to have a real sense of self-worth, so that they can approach their studies and their life in general with a sense of eagerness, expectation, enterprise and a desire to aim high and rise to every challenge. It is all of these characteristics which have been recognised by this prestigious award given to the School. Our bid for the award and the full day assessment involved a group of girls from Year 6 through to Sixth Form. The assessment took far longer than normal because the judges quite simply were so impressed by the girls and all they had to offer and wanted to hear more.
