General information

Learn Sheffield is a school-led company which is focussed on school improvement. Our purpose is to nurture effective partnerships within an ambitious and effective culture so that, in Sheffield, all of our young people learn with great teachers, in great settings, which are constantly improving.

We are a not for profit company limited by guarantee, of which 80% is owned by schools and colleges and 20% by Sheffield City Council. Learn Sheffield does not distinguish between different types of setting, it is there to support any publicly funded school or college working with Sheffield’s children and young people.

We provide an innovative approach to delivering school improvement services and also deliver some statutory duties on behalf of Sheffield City Council. Learn Sheffield aims to strengthen city-wide partnership work, both within sectors and between them.

Learn Sheffield offers every Sheffield school and college the chance to purchase services from a company that they own, which will reinvest all surplus to support further improvement. We aspire to be the company of choice to support Sheffield schools and colleges in ensuring that every child has access to a great education, wherever they live and whatever their circumstances.
