About us

The Principal of Sheffield Park Academy is Mr Watson 

He is supported by:     

Sheffield Park Academy is a high performing 11 – 18 school with almost 1,200 students, housed in a purpose-built £30 million building with excellent technology, arts and sports facilities. We also have a dedicated VI Form, catering for up to 150 students, which delivers a wide range of academic and vocational courses. 

Our academy is part of United Learning, a national group of schools which is united by a shared commitment to bring out ‘the best in everyone’. In this, we benefit significantly from opportunities to collaborate within Sheffield and across the country – from enrichment, academic and university access initiatives for students, to staff professional development and support. 

We are very pleased that, in an inspection in December 2022, Ofsted inspectors confirmed that we continue to be a ‘Good’ school.

In their report, they praised a range of aspects of the academy, including the following:

"Leaders are ambitious for all pupils to achieve highly.”

"Pupils enjoy coming to this school. They feel at home in its respectful and kind culture..”

“This is a school where staff care for pupils and are determined that they will succeed.”

“Pupils are proud of the school. They behave well in lessons and around the school..”

Ofsted also praised our VI Form provision, stating: 

“Sixth-form students act as positive role models for younger pupils.”

“Students in the sixth form display mature attitudes and are confident and articulate."

"Leaders are increasingly ambitious for sixth-form students.”
