Welcome to Forge Valley School

Our Sixth Form is a thriving community of people who are all working hard to achieve their goals. 

As a smaller sixth form, our strength lies in really knowing each individual, embracing your key unique strengths and ensuring that you are able to secure an aspirational destination. As a student with us, you will experience new and different environments, making it an ideal opportunity to make new friends. You will be treated as an individual and provided with all the support needed to help you achieve your aspirations.

We welcome students from all over Sheffield due to the excellent transport links in nearby Hillsborough. We look forward to welcoming students into the sixth form community and becoming part of the journey you will take into university, apprenticeships and beyond.
