If you’ve applied to become a student at The Sheffield Sixth Form this September, there are all sorts of wonderful things awaiting you on campus. From fantastic facilities to exciting enrichment opportunities and everything in between, our campus is home to some incredible spaces and exciting experiences around every corner. Read on to find out just what’s in store for you.

Exciting events

Every year brings new opportunities for our students to enjoy different events. Each year we run a Freshers’ Fair, Open Days with taster sessions, and Student Celebration Award events. Throughout the year, we also have charity fundraisers, celebratory events, and workshops for students to enjoy and get involved in.

Industry-standard facilities

You can be sure you’ll get to use some of the best facilities available for your chosen subjects. From fully equipped classrooms to exclusive social spaces, whatever your career goals, The Sheffield Sixth Form will see you on the right track to gaining all the skills you need to succeed.

Cafes and canteens

Break times are important moments to recharge, and that’s why we make sure you have plenty of options. Grab a hot drink at our Costa Coffee outlet or refuel with something to eat at our refectory. You can also get meals made by our very own catering students at Grab and Go.

Independence

Sixth form life is very different from school, and you’ll notice this in your timetable, which gives you time to absorb what you’ve learned and study independently too. Taking responsibility for your own learning will give you the skills to manage your time and prioritise your workload, essential for when you’re heading into the working world.

Work and volunteering opportunities

Our Careers Team is always on hand to discuss work and volunteering opportunities with you! Whether you’re after a job for when you finish your studies, you’re looking for a placement to support your qualifications, or you’d like to volunteer to improve your future opportunities, we’ve got you covered.

Sports clubs, societies, and student campaigns

We have so many extracurricular activities for our students to get involved in! If you’re into sports, we have sports halls, gyms, and teams at your disposal. There are a number of societies always ready to welcome new members. Plus, when you become a student at The Sheffield Sixth Form, you’re automatically part of our Students’ Union, giving you opportunities to have a voice, get involved in campaigns, and make a real difference here.

Support services

If there’s ever anything you need, you can be sure there’s a support team to help here at The Sheffield Sixth Form. From financial support to childcare, we have specialist teams on hand to enable you to focus fully on your studies. Visit Student Central to speak to someone about any support you may need.

Impactful people

More than anything, here at The Sheffield Sixth Form, we are a wonderful community of friends, tutors, and staff. Studying here will give you countless opportunities to meet new people, build connections, and make friends from Sheffield and beyond.

Sixth form life is about more than just your qualifications. It’s about discovering yourself, striving for your potential, having new experiences, building relationships, and working towards your future.
