Designing the future at Sheffield Girls’!

This year’s Class of 2026 is a particularly creative cohort, and we have a handful of pupils heading off to study architecture, urban planning and engineering.

📐Eva, Amelie, Zibei, Olivia and Joana have all received offers to study Architecture, including an offer from a prestigious university in the Netherlands!
🏗️Jae-Hui and Anjali have both received offers to study engineering-related courses!

Surrounded by Sheffield’s rich legacy of innovation, from our world-famous steel heritage to cutting-edge advanced engineering and vibrant creative industries, our students are uniquely inspired to design, construct and shape the world of tomorrow.

Combining technical rigor with bold creative vision, these 'Girls of Steel' are ready to build bright futures - we can’t wait to see what they come up with!

Backstage brilliance🎭

This year’s A Level Drama and Theatre Studies students have once again stolen the spotlight on Results Day - and this time it’s our technical theatre superstars’ turn to take centre stage!

🎭Violet achieved three A*s and will be heading to the University of Bristol to study Theatre and English!
🎭Evie achieved A* in Drama and Theatre Studies has a place at the prestigious conservatoire LIPA (Liverpool Institute of the Performing Arts) to study Sound Technology!

As well as playing a key role in supporting younger students in the co-curricular life of the School, Evie and Violet have worked closely with our AV-extraordinaire, Mr Ramskill, and our Head of Drama, Mrs Morton, on honing their technical theatre skills and making sure our productions run like clockwork.

Co-curricular drama sits at the heart of our school, and two of our Class of 2026 have been instrumental in the Sheffield Girls’ performing arts scene throughout their time here. Their technical dedication to school productions has been second-to-none, and we are delighted to see their passion for the performing arts extend beyond the school gates as they enter their next act.

Well done Evie and Violet!

Sisters are doin’ it for themselves…👭

One of this year’s success stories is Sylvie, the fourth sister in her family to leave Sheffield Girls’ armed with a handful of incredible results.

Following in the footsteps of her sisters Suzannah (Class of 2021; Veterinary Medicine) and Stephanie and Sophie (both Class of 2024; both Medicine), Sylvie was delighted today to achieve A*A*A* and has accepted an offer to study Medicine at the University of Leicester.

This means that between them, the Radatz sisters have an incredible eight A*s, three As and one B - what an achievement.

As well as academic success, Sylvie has truly immersed herself in the life of the School. As well as pursuing extensive work experience around her subject, Sylvie is a member of the Head Girl team, an assembly leader, a weekly Junior School reading buddy, and a SHINE mentor. She is also heavily involved in co-curricular dance, running Year 7 Dance Club and dancing 5 times a week alongside her academic pursuits.

Huge well done, Sylvie!

It’s all politics…🗳️

This year’s Year 13s have felt particularly inspired to pursue courses in politics and international relations. Who knows, maybe we have a future cabinet minister or Prime Minister in our Class of 2026?

One of these students is Freya, one of our Melbournians who have been at Sheffield Girls’ since Reception. A dedicated member of our Head Girl Team and subject prefect for Politics, Freya achieved a phenomenal A*A*A* in her A Levels and has achieved a highly competitive place to study History and Politics at the University of Oxford.

Freya commented: “I’m so, so happy. If I could describe my time at Sheffield Girls’, I’d say long - but in a good way! I’ve been here 14 years, so since the beginning and it’s always been so much fun. Everyone here is so nice and they’ve been so supportive. I wouldn’t have got to where I am without them.”

Alongside Freya, eight other students in our Class of 2026 will be taking their passion for debate, diplomacy, and global change to prestigious universities including King’s College London and UCL.

From school council debates to global stage policy, we have no doubt these modern pioneers will be shaping the future of leadership. Huge congratulations to you all! 🌟👏

🌟Marvellous Melbournians🌟

Our Melbournians, students who have been at Sheffield Girls’ from Reception to Year 13, have once again achieved incredible success on A Level Results Day!

Between them, they achieved a phenomenal 10 A*s, 15 As and 31 Bs - testament to both their hard work and the impact of choosing a Sheffield Girls’ education from Infants right through to Sixth Form.

Amongst other successes, including 3 A*s each for Freya and Sylvie, our Melbournians’ successes include:

Aanya achieved three A*s and has a place on UCL’s highly competitive Medicine course! Throughout her time at Sheffield Girls’, Aanya has immersed herself in the life of the school, taking on multiple leadership roles such as Chair of the Medical Society and Head Girl.

Freja achieved an outstanding A*AA and will be heading to the University of Salford to study TV and Radio Production! A multi-talented Fine Art Prefect, Freja has consistently balanced top-tier academic results with exceptional creative talents, regularly showcasing her work in city-wide art exhibitions and competitions throughout her time at school.

We would like to wish our Melbournians the very best of luck and we can’t wait to welcome them back to Sheffield Girls’ as treasured alumnae in the future.

Feline fine on Results Day. 🐱🎓

Every year at Sheffield Girls’, medicine and dentistry courses are always a popular choice for our Year 13 leavers, but this year things have taken a ‘wild’ turn with three of our pupils securing competitive places to study Veterinary Sciences.

🐾 Charlotte, our Deputy Head Girl, achieved A*AA and will study Veterinary Medicine and Surgery at the University of Nottingham.
🐾Lizzie has gained a place on a highly competitive Veterinary Medicine course at the University of Bristol sponsored by the British Army Veterinary Corps, and achieved an incredible A*A*A*!
