The Gym and Sports Clubs
At Longley Park Sixth Form, students have the chance to get involved in a wide range of exciting enrichment activities alongside their studies. If you’re looking to boost your health and fitness, our on-site gym offers a fantastic space to train, featuring a variety of modern cardiovascular equipment to help you stay active, motivated and feeling your best.
Our fitness facilities include a wide range of cardio equipment such as treadmills, rowing machines, cross trainers, and exercise bikes. For students looking to develop strength and power, we also offer a combination of resistance machines and free weights to support all training goals.
In addition to gym access, the Sixth Form Football Team competes in the South Yorkshire Flexi League. Students can attend trials, take part in weekly training sessions, play competitive fixtures, or support the team by helping with equipment and officiating on match days.
If you prefer a more relaxed approach to sport, we run lunchtime table tennis sessions within the sixth form, as well as badminton sessions at Concord Sports Centre every Wednesday afternoon. Longley Park also works closely with Sheffield Wednesday, providing opportunities for students to get involved in community-based sporting projects, including local football and basketball sessions held on weeknights.
The Canteen
If you like to start your day with a hearty, healthy breakfast, Longley Park’s canteen is the perfect place. We offer a wide selection of food throughout the day, from fruit toast and cooked breakfast options in the morning to favourites like chicken and chips at lunchtime, as well as our delicious, freshly made homemade soup.
You can also choose from a wide range of Fairtrade coffees and teas, supplied by our exclusive ethically sourced beverage partner — perfect for a quick break between lessons.
You can also enjoy a variety of daily specials, including halloumi wraps, chicken curry, and enchiladas, or create your own healthy option from our fresh salad bar. We cater for everyone, with vegan, vegetarian, and halal choices available every day.
If you need an afternoon pick-me-up, visit our small café on the first floor, where you’ll find a selection of drinks and snacks to keep you going. Treat yourself to a delicious frappuccino or choose from a range of homemade cookies and cakes — there’s always something tempting on offer.
