Sixth Form Open Morning - Saturday 14 November 9.15am for 9.30am

Our newly extended Sixth Form Centre is housed in beautiful premises on Melbourne Avenue

Prospective parents and students are warmly invited to join us for our Sixth Form Open Morning on Saturday 14 November. Please aim to arrive around 9.15am so that we can start the morning’s programme promptly at 9.30am.

Our students achieve excellent results!
Sheffield High School’s Sixth Form has an enviable reputation for its results at A-level, with 83% of our A-level results being at the top grades of A or B in 2009 whilst the national figure this year was 52%. Just under 58% of our girls achieved grade A in their subject in 2009, compared to 27% nationally and almost half our students achieved straight ‘A’ grades across all their subjects! Our students go on to Oxford, Cambridge and other top universities across the country to study anything from medicine and sciences to law and the performing arts.

Our Sixth Form Centre will soon be even better!
Our A-level results are consistently the best in South Yorkshire and growing demand for places means that we need to provide more for our students. As a result, our dedicated Sixth Form Centre is about to benefit from an ambitious and exciting new extension of its facilities.

Consultation with sixth formers has been ongoing during the planning phase and the new building will incorporate a large new Learning Resource Centre exclusively for use by sixth formers with key study material, laptop computers, a Virtual Learning Environment and a wealth of careers resources. Building work has already started and is due to be completed during the summer of 2010, meaning that our new Sixth Form students in September 2010 will be among the first to benefit from this significant investment in our facilities.

But it’s not all work! Our students will also benefit from a new café and kitchen diner in which to relax and unwind with outdoor decked spaces in which to socialise.

It’s more than just A-levels!
We also offer a vast range of enrichment opportunities to our students to enhance their sixth form experience, with girls getting the chance to undertake voluntary work, run their own business in school or even take a beginners course in Mandarin!

Getting to SHS made easy!
Girls travel from far and wide to attend the High School, often making use of the fleet of coaches organised by parents, bringing girls to the High School from all over South and West Yorkshire, Nottinghamshire and North Derbyshire.

Scholarships and Bursaries Available!
Many of our Sixth Form students receive scholarships and bursaries. For more information, please see our page on Scholarships and Bursaries
