Welcome to Hillsborough Primary School!
At Hillsborough we aim to give our children the very best education. Children are at the centre of every decision staff and governors make about the school. We prioritise partnership working with parents and value the contribution family life has to offer to a child’s education.
There is a strong emphasis placed on English and Maths skills and the school has been awarded their third Basic Skills Award. The curriculum provides opportunities to explore new countries, investigate the world around us and learn how to stay healthy. We believe in creating a learning environment which encourages independence, risk taking and life long learning skills. Our Foundation Stage unit is stimulating, supportive and provides the best possible start to the education of young children.
We offer a wide range of sporting as well as academic opportunities. The school has strong links with Sheffield Wednesday Football Club and have regular coaching sessions. There is a variety of after school clubs and our Year 4 and Year 6 children attend a residential each year.
We hope that you enjoy your visit to our website, and that you find any information you are looking for. Please feel free to contact the school direct with any queries you may have.
Tapton is an ‘outstanding’ 11-18 school (Ofsted 2012) with 1,700 students, including a Sixth Form of around 500, pleasantly situated in the south west of Sheffield and close to the Peak District National Park.
We see ourselves as a Sheffield school made up of a diverse community, yet we are all Tapton. Our ethos of valuing everyone, caring for each other and achieving excellence, underpin everything that happens in our school.
We believe education should have a positive impact on all students and that Tapton is the right place for this to happen. We aspire to improve the life chances of all our students through ongoing progress and improvement in learning. We strive to make education at Tapton a transformational experience, regardless of ability or background, and our record of sustained success reflects our commitment to raising achievement for everyone.
We have the highest expectations of all our students in every area of school life. Our school is a caring, nurturing and ordered community with an atmosphere of calm and purposeful learning. This is to ensure that all our students feel safe and secure.
Students are treated as individuals; we recognise and celebrate different abilities, aptitudes and interests and believe that everyone can develop through dedication and hard work. We aim to create an enjoyment for learning and a resilience that is essential for achieving excellence. We work hard to ensure every young person is happy, safe and successful – a credit to themselves, their family and Tapton School. We aim high. Our aspiration is to have the best behaviour, conduct and manners of any school in the country, while recognising that children learn and grow at different rates as they become responsible citizens.
We are restless to succeed for all our students and are working hard to make the smartest decisions in an ever changing educational landscape. The experience and security of children in this changing world is central to how we develop our school.
A culture of excellent teaching and learning is at the heart of everything at Tapton. Tapton is a ‘National Teaching School’ – this means we have a commitment and responsibility to develop the educational experience across our region. Learning at Tapton isn’t just for students, we invest heavily in the continuing professional development of all our staff to improve the student experience. Success is not down to one thing but needs some key ingredients: strong classroom practice, an appropriate and personalised curriculum, rigorous tracking and monitoring of progress, commitment and positive behaviour for learning from students and support from home. These coupled with a love for learning and a passionate belief that all can achieve are crucial so that every student can be the best that they can be.
Tapton is proud to be the sponsor school for Tapton School Academy Trust. TSAT is a Sheffield, cross-phase multi-academy trust, currently consisting of eight schools.
We look forward to welcoming you and your daughter or son into our school community.

I am delighted and proud to present Chaucer School to you.
Our students are proud of their school – a place of trust and integrity – with many continuing to keep in contact long after they leave us. Indeed, many of our parents and some of our staff are themselves past students.
It is a fantastic place to fulfil your potential, and you will be excited about the many excellent opportunities your child will experience as they join our community.
Chaucer School’s performance is rapidly and continually improving. We place a very strong emphasis on achieving well in the subjects of English, Maths and Science. This is strongly aligned with our achievement at the Children’s University and in sporting environments. In addition, there is real, developing talent in Music, Art, Dance and Drama. This sits alongside our pride in exciting, practical learning in Technology and ICT, and our students’ increasing knowledge of the world – its history and cultures.
Chaucer School recently converted to Academy status and moved into a strong partnership with the Tapton School Academy Trust and Tapton School. We also work closely with our family of schools: Meynell, Southey, Parson Cross and Hillsborough primary schools.
We work in direct partnership with Tapton School Sixth Form, Longley Park and Sheffield College, giving excellent opportunities for progression into post-16 learning, and continue to explore other areas to ensure our young people fulfil their dreams.
