The Sheffield College

About The Sheffield College

The Sheffield College is a 16-99 state secondary in Sheffield, and its headline metrics paint a very different picture from the local authority average for its type. While the LA average Progress 8 score for secondary schools sits at -0.4, this college does not report a Progress 8 score at all, as it focuses entirely on post-16 students. Instead, its key performance measure is the A-level value added score, which stands at 0.04, placing it in the 'Average' progress banding. That means students here make roughly the expected amount of academic progress from their starting points, neither significantly above nor below the national norm. The college's attainment 8 score of 20.4 is low, but this is a misleading comparison because it applies to the small number of students who take GCSE-equivalent qualifications at this age. The real story is at A-level, where the college's average points per entry of 46.15 translates to a grade of A-, which is a strong outcome for a non-selective sixth form college.
