Ethos, Values and Education with Character

We are proud to be 'One Community, One Park'.

Our values 

• Community – we are here to be the best we can be, to work hard in our community, to look after each other, and to show pride for our academy and our local area​

• Ambition – we strive to be the absolute best we can be every day at SPA – at social times, in lessons, and on our way to and from school ​

• Respect – we have respect for ourselves – we wear our uniform well, we bring our equipment to school, we show great behaviour, and we show for ourselves respect for each other.​

• Endurance - we do not give up, we keep going when things are tough, and we work hard and always try our best 

Education with Character

Whilst academic success is very important, at Sheffield Park Academy we believe that there is more to a good education.  As well as ensuring our students succeed in exams, we aim to develop character, compassion and service.  Throughout their time with us, students are expected to contribute to our school community and to society.  We want students to try things they cannot do, to persist in the face of difficulty and to become resilient in overcoming obstacles.

With this in mind, we provide a breadth of opportunities and experiences which seek to help our students become confident, well-rounded and ambitious young adults.  Our curriculum and enrichment programme is overflowing with opportunities to try something new and develop new skills.  In addition to our very wide range of extracurricular clubs, our students enjoy a diverse range of trips, university visits, talks by inspirational speakers from the worlds of medicine, law and business as well as countless opportunities to collaborate with their peers at United Learning schools across the country.

We are incredibly proud to deliver an Education with Character; an education which challenges, inspires and excites our students and prepares them for the ups and downs of life.
