Infants and Juniors
Welcome from the Head
Welcome to Sheffield Girls’ Infant and Junior School. I hope the following pages help provide you with a little insight into what makes our school such a special place where anything is possible, and where our pupils feel confident, happy and supported as they develop the knowledge, skills and tools they will need to meet the challenges of the future.
We were delighted to be named Independent Prep School of the Year in 2023. Our staff are experts in their craft, specialists in teaching girls and above all, passionate about supporting pupils to achieve their full potential as they progress through the early stages of their education. Our staff know each and every one of our pupils individually and inject a sense of fun and creativity into the classroom as they tailor their learning to meet their needs.
Our Girls of Steel programme allows our students to enhance their character skills; setting them up for their onward journey into Seniors and ultimately life beyond school.
Sheffield Girls’ is a through school, accepting pupils from 4 - 18 and in the Infant and Junior school we enjoy the use of state-of-the-art facilities right across our site, including a dedicated outdoor learning zone, STEM rooms, art and music studios, science laboratories, extensive sports spaces and much more.
We encourage our pupils to engage with the world around them, to question and challenge and take part in activities and events which inspire them and stretch them academically and personally. Our school is not all about the classroom and there are a vast number of extra-curricular clubs and activities, sports teams, trips and visits to enjoy throughout the year.
I have to say that what makes our school truly unique though, is the girls themselves. I never fail to be amazed by their enthusiasm, passion for learning and their mature, supportive nature. Our pupils embody our school values of courage, positivity and kindness and I feel incredibly lucky and privileged to be part of their world, every day.
Words mean nothing if you can’t see and feel it for yourself so do come in. I would be delighted to show you around and introduce you to some of our budding superstars of the future.
