King Ecgbert School is a large 11-18 secondary school of roughly 1450 students, including a sixth form of around 380 students.
Our school is situated in Dore in the south-west of Sheffield, close to the Peak District. We serve a vibrant and diverse catchment, stretching from the very edge of the city to the very centre, following the Abbeydale corridor; we are a truly comprehensive school.
King Ecgbert School has a long held reputation for excellence in Sheffield, and as headteacher my role is to be the custodian who protects what has long been a wonderful place to be educated.
In October 2024, our school was judged by Ofsted to be outstanding in all areas of the report, highlighting the supportive and inclusive environment where all pupils, including those with SEND, achieve exceptionally well.
Our 'ERA' values of academic excellence, showing respect and having high aspirations shape all that we do.
We see our purpose being far more than giving students knowledge, understanding and qualifications; but to help them develop into fine young adults who are happy, confident and able to make a positive difference to world around them when they leave.
