What the data says

Sheffield Springs Academy has no sixth form. Of the 163 pupils who finished Year 11 there in 2023, 3% moved to a sixth form college, 57% to a further education college and 2% started an apprenticeship.

11% of leavers were not in sustained education, employment or training six months on, compared with 6% nationally.

GCSE results in 2025 were below the national picture: Attainment 8 of 38.9 against 46.1 across England and 43.2 in Sheffield, with 38% of pupils getting grade 5 or above in both English and maths (England 45%).

As an 11–16 school, Sheffield Springs Academy is judged on where pupils go at 16 rather than on A level results.
