Hi, new to this site
I would be grateful for info on good secondary schools in Sheffield and 6th Form, I have 3 children all ready for secondary school.
I have done some research, and looking to relocate to Woodseats Hillsborough areas etc from the South East of England.
In short a good neighbourhood, for a family that has never lived in Sheffield.
Thanks

Note that only the schools in the south west corner of the city still have 6th forms (the ones mentioned by 2wentypence and a couple of others). In the rest of the city a 6th form college system operates.
This is because only one of the city's 6 MPs (i.e., the only non-Labour one) stood up to the (Labour) council when they introduced the idea in the late 80s...
