What The Good Schools Guide says..
Many girls here reach outstanding standards in a wide range of spheres, as testified by the cabinet bursting with silver trophies and noticeboard crammed with newspaper cuttings that greet the visitor on arrival. Some wonderful talent, going by the immensely enjoyable, lively and mischievous recent leavers' video. Glory won in performing Shakespeare, poetry reciting, debating and public speaking competitions...

Special Education Needs
Sheffield High School’s inclusive education aims to give each individual pupil the support she may need to participate in the wide range of school life and activities in order to progress according to her capabilities, and to achieve her full potential, by setting high but realistic goals. Support for a variety of needs is a collective, whole-school responsibility; every teacher is a teacher of pupils with individual needs, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). The school uses the graduated approach as outlined in the Code of Practice (2014). To help with this process information is collated from a variety of sources which is then used to plan the next steps. At Sheffield High School we identify the needs for individual pupils by considering the needs of the whole child, not just the special educational needs of the child. All staff are responsible for the identification, monitoring and evaluation of progress of all pupils, including those with SEND. Teachers contribute to the inclusive education of all pupils through Quality First Teaching and are responsible for the development of differentiated teaching strategies and resources to overcome barriers to learning and to enable all pupils to succeed.
