Longley Park Sixth Form Academy opened in September 2004 and became apart of Brigantia Learning Trust in 2017. Longley Park draws from over thirty schools across Sheffield and South Yorkshire and has a student community of over 1,000 students.

We have a ambitious and inclusive curriculum serving students from pre entry to Level 3, including GCSE, BTEC, AAQ, TOQ, A Level and T Level qualifications.

Making every interaction matter

We believe that an inclusive education is the vehicle for social mobility and making futures happen. We will work with our young people to ensure they value their education and make good choices for themselves and their community.

We listen to our learners’ hopes and aspirations for their future and work with them to navigate a path towards achieving a positive destination.

With high expectations and challenge, within a culture of care, our learners can excel to achieve more than they ever thought themselves capable.

To do this, we will prioritise learning, promote resilience and strive to make every interaction matter.
