OUR VISION

Our Strategic Plan 2021-2025 clearly outlines our aims and ambitions as a college.

The strategy has four key themes against which progress and impact will be measured:

bullet point LEARNING

bullet point PARTNERSHIPS

bullet point PEOPLE

bullet point SUSTAINABILITY

LEARNING OUR AMBITION

"STUDYING AT THE SHEFFIELD COLLEGE HAS GIVEN ME THE CONFIDENCE AND ABILITY TO PUT MY IDEAS OUT THERE.

I feared my disability would stop me from doing my course due to physical restraints, but the college has supported me throughout it all, and because of this support I feel ready to continue onto my next step."
