As one of the pioneers of all-girls education in the UK, Sheffield Girls' immerses pupils in a purposeful environment where learning is rigorous but fun, hard work is cool and innovation is constant. The school was proudly named The Sunday Times Independent School in the North 2023 and Independent Prep School of the Year 2023, reflecting its strong reputation for academic excellence, expert pastoral care, breadth of co-curricular opportunity and work within the local community.
