About Longley Park Sixth Form Academy

Parents considering Longley Park Sixth Form Academy will find unusually strong signals of satisfaction from those already in the door. In the most recent Parent View survey, covering the period from September 2024 to September 2025, every single respondent said they would recommend the school to another parent — a perfect 100% yes vote. That’s based on 23 responses, so it’s a small sample, but the consistency is striking. On specific questions, the feedback is similarly positive: 100% of parents agreed or strongly agreed that their child is happy at the school, and the same proportion felt their child is safe. When it comes to how the school handles concerns, 70% of parents strongly agreed that issues are dealt with properly, with no one disagreeing. The school is a 16-19 sixth form with a capacity of 110 students, and while oversubscription data isn’t available here, the combination of a Good Ofsted rating and this level of parental endorsement suggests it’s a well-regarded local option for post-16 study in Sheffield.
