Welcome to Shelley College, A Share Academy

WelcomeAt Shelley College Sixth Form we are committed to doing the very best by every student who walks through the door, supporting them to achieve their personal best and valuing them as an individual. We aim to get to know our students in a way which allows us to cater for their future aims and ambitions, and give them the advice and guidance needed to ensure they make an informed decision which is right for them.Shelley Sixth Form is increasingly becoming the first choice destination for students from a number of Yorkshire high schools, as well as our own. One of the reasons students come to us is that we offer a level of personal attention both in quality teaching and pastoral support that’s difficult to match. Our small class sizes allow teachers to get to know each student well and offer individual guidance to success.Our students can choose from a wide range of curriculum options and enjoy a warm, friendly and happy atmosphere throughout their studies at this important stage of their education. We’re proud of our determination to help everybody achieve their personal goals, which shows in our most recent results.
