Our Sixth Form is “outstanding”. That’s not just our opinion – it’s the official judgement from Ofsted (November 2013). High Storrs is committed to providing the highest standard of education and a positive and exciting learning environment for all students.

Our students have a learning environment which is second to none, including new sports facilities, drama and dance studios, and new sixth form areas, as well as a new Learning Resource Centre, among others. It is the perfect environment to deepen your study of subjects you studied at GCSE or to embark upon new subjects. 

The Sixth Form has a uniquely supportive ethos. Students are stretched and challenged, but in a positive way, catering for individual needs and abilities. We believe that every student can and should experience success. We always involve parents if concerns arise or special praise is deserved.

But there is much more to Sixth Form life than academic achievement. Students enjoy all the opportunities of a well-resourced school, with a full package of extra-curricular activities.

We help prepare students for higher education, employment or further training, so they can play a full and responsible role in the community. Our committed and talented staff do all that we can to develop high aspirations.

We work closely with parents – we look forward to a long and productive partnership.

Director of Sixth Form

To ensure a smooth transition into the Sixth Form, students discuss their options with staff before experiencing a preliminary "taster" course in July. Throughout your time at High Storrs you are encouraged to seek the help of Form Tutors and Sixth Form staff, particularly in the early weeks when things can seem very different and new. We want you to succeed and reach your potential - we will support and help you to achieve this.

We offer you the opportunity to study in a hardworking, academic environment. You will be taught by qualified and experienced teachers who understand the demands of Sixth Form study and supported by our dedicated Sixth Form team. The majority of our own Year 11 students stay on in the Sixth Form and we welcome students from schools from all over Sheffield and beyond - adding a much valued new dimension.
