Welcome to Sheffield Springs Academy, I'm Claire Cartledge, and I am very proud to be the principal of our wonderful school. Our mission is to provide our students with an excellent education. We are determined to ensure that all our pupils will leave us with a great set of qualifications, we know the impact this can have on a young person's future success and wellbeing.
In addition to qualifications, we provide a range of enrichment experiences that will enable our pupils to access the best possible opportunities post-16. We want our pupils to develop into confident, healthy and happy adults who go on to lead successful lives.
We have four key values at Sheffield Springs Academy and our pupils and staff demonstrate these every day, these are: Together these values make up the SSA Way, this is how we work together every day, week, and year to achieve the best in everyone.
