On behalf of High Storrs School I am delighted to welcome you to our school website. We are a fully comprehensive school meeting the needs of all abilities across the 11-18 age range in a friendly, caring and hardworking environment. High Storrs is a specialist school for Performing Arts and also Mathematics and Computing and is well known for its high quality work in the Performing Arts.
In September 2011 we completed our BSF rebuilding and refurbishment programme. This has now given our students a learning environment which is second to none:
- New sports facilities (including a four court sports hall)
- New Drama studios
- New Dance studios
- New Design & Technology suites
Additionally, we have refurbished all of our classrooms and our School Hall has been redesigned in 1930s style, with state of the Art audio visual facilities. The refurbishment work was designed in consultation with English Heritage, who ensured that many traditional aspects of our school buildings were preserved. The work also includes: new sixth form areas, a new Learning Resource Centre, new Music Suites and a new Learning Support Centre.
Every individual matters in High Storrs School and we seek to encourage every student to develop their all round ability and special talent. Our students benefit from excellent teaching and a broad curriculum which challenges them to progress at a rate which ensures success. Several of our GCSE classes contain students from different year groups.
We have a very strong Primary School links programme and an extremely popular summer school for Year 6 students. This is well supported and ensures that students join our vertical tutor groups in a confident way which helps them to settle in and begin learning.
I hope that by visiting our website you get a flavour of High Storrs School. If you wish to follow this up with a visit, please contact me at the school or visit us on one of our many open events.

On Sunday 13th May the High Storrs Parents and Teachers Association (PTA) held its annual car boot and plant sale at the school. We had a fantastic range of items for sale at over 50 stalls, as well as a number of local nurseries and plant groups selling plants.
The event proved very popular not only with staff, students and their families but also with members of the local community, who enjoyed the festive atmosphere, tasty snacks and many bargains! This year we were lucky to enjoy not only some beautiful sunny weather, but also a fantastic performance from the High Storrs Soul Band.
A fantastic £1,350 were raised for the School Funds. The PTA would like to extend their thanks to all the volunteers who worked together to make this event possible, the Soul Band members and of course the school’s caretaker, who helped set it all up.

High Storrs School has now released its commemorative book, entitled ‘High Storrs School: A Journey’. This sixty-four page volume revisits the history of the high performing Sheffield school, from its beginnings as the Central Secondary School in Leopold Street back in the 1880s, to the recently completed three-year rebuild and refurbishment process.
The book is the result of a three-month collaboration between staff past and present and the Centralians Association alumni, who kindly shared their fascinating memories and helped us explore the school’s history.
To purchase your copy which is £9.99, please send a cheque for £11.99 (including postage and packaging), payable to ‘High Storrs School’, to: Eva Oliver, Communications & Marketing Coordinator, High Storrs School, High Storrs Road, Sheffield S11 7LH, South Yorkshire. Please indicate clearly the address where you would like us to post your book to, and a contact telephone number. A copy will be dispatched to you shortly.
We have been lucky enough recently to have received the services of local photographer Andy Chubb who has photographed our newly built and refurbished school. You can view the photos he took below and see the amazing changes our school has gone through.
