The Building
Longley Park Sixth Form College opened in September 2004 in brand new, purpose-built facilities. The buildings have been designed by internationally renowned architects Ellis Williams, who also designed the Baltic Centre in Newcastle. The aim from the start has been to create a world class environment for post-16 learning which will give you access to the very best facilities and equipment.

Sports Facilities
Students involved in Sports courses at Longley Park Sixth Form College will have access to some of the best facilities in the country. We have agreed a partnership with Sheffield International Venues which will enable us to base much of our Sports provision at two key centres.

The college will have a base and teaching facilities at this prestigious new complex which offers a world class training environment for some of the country's foremost athletes. Students will have the unique experience of working in the same hi-tech centre as many of our Olympic teams.
