Celebrating the Grand Opening of Our New Sixth Form Building
We're very proud to announce the official opening of our stunning new Sixth Form building! This modern, eco-friendly space, reminiscent of a university setting, boasts 15 classrooms, flexible study areas, and ample social spaces tailored to enrich the learning experience of our Sixth Form students.
Funded by the Sheffield City Council in response to the growing number of pupils in our main school, this innovative solution not only accommodates our expansion but also provides our Sixth Formers with a bespoke environment they can truly call their own.
Already, lessons are underway in our new classrooms, with students wholeheartedly embracing the fantastic study spaces we've meticulously crafted for them.
The feedback from our students has been overwhelmingly positive, with many likening the atmosphere to that of a university. They've expressed admiration for the tasteful decor and furniture, and above all, a profound sense of pride in their new surroundings. It's worth noting that our students played a pivotal role in shaping the internal aesthetics, from choosing wall colours to selecting funky furniture.
One standout feature of our new space is the breathtaking artwork adorning the walls, each piece created by our talented students. We couldn't be prouder to showcase their creativity in this wonderful new setting.
To commemorate this monumental occasion, we hosted a memorable opening ceremony, graced by the presence of the Lord Mayor of Sheffield and Lady Mayoress, along with representatives from R G Carter Construction, the architects, Sheffield City Council, and our esteemed governors and trustees. Following inspiring speeches and a symbolic ribbon-cutting ceremony, guests were invited to explore the magnificent new space and engage with our student ambassadors, who eagerly shared their insights about the building.
As we embark on this exciting new chapter, we extend our heartfelt gratitude to everyone involved in making this dream a reality. Together, we've created more than just a building; we've cultivated an environment where our students can thrive and excel.
