At Sheffield Girls' School we are proud to offer single-sex education for girls between the ages of 4 and 18. We believe that the opportunities we offer for girls’ education and personal development make Sheffield Girls' School a very attractive option -
At GCSE in 2015, the pass rate was 98% grades A*-C and 76% of all grades awarded to girls were A*/A. This compares to the national figure of 28%. Over 92% of Sheffield Girls' results were at A*-B and well over half the year group of 121 students achieved nine A*/A grades or more with fifteen girls gaining 10 or more A* grades.
At A-level in 2015, 50% of all subjects passed were at grades A*/A, nearly double the national figure of 26%. Over half the year group achieved a minimum of ABB grades – the requirement of many leading universities. The school now boasts an unrivalled twelfth year of a 100% pass rate, with 18% of all subjects taken being graded A*. Almost one third of the year group have straight A*/A results.
These exam results were the best of any school in the area in 2015.
At its latest inspection, the school was rated as 'Excellent' in all nine areas inspected.
Music flourishes throughout the school in our new suite of the most up-to-date equipment. We value the music that is taught in the curriculum and, in addition, there are numerous musical activities which enrich pupils' lives: three choirs, concert bands, swing bands, two orchestras, a string training group and flute group. We have 14 visiting instrumental teachers and lessons can be arranged and examinations taken in school.
Art, Design and Technology at Sheffield High School is a successful and lively department which currently comprises three full-time and one part-time member of staff and a full time technician (a recent Fine Art graduate).
We work together as a strong team celebrating our strengths. Our specialisms cover Drawing and Painting, Printmaking, Textiles, Ceramics, Sculpture and Digital Photography.
