Learn Sheffield Insights Hub
We have developed the Insights Hub to provide a home for the different analysis, reports and contributions to education policy discussions that we produce. These can often be found in the projects section of the website, linked to the specific piece of work which they relate to, but this section of the website gathers them together in one accessible place.
Learn Sheffield is a relatively small organisation, but we believe that being socially responsible and consistently seeking to contribute to system improvement is one of the ways that we can deliver on our purpose, vision and values.
Latest Insights
The Sheffield SAFE Taskforce: Annual Report Year 2 report was published in December 2024. It provides an overview of the DfE’s SAFE programme in Sheffield and covers the period from September 2023 to September 2024. The report includes further information about the project and the Sheffield Taskforce, and the impact of the project on pupils who have received evidence-based interventions. It also reflects on the findings from the first two years and how this learning will inform the final year of the project and beyond.
The DHA Sexual Harassment Report was commissioned by South Yorkshire Violence Reduction Unit in 2023 and published in March 2024. It represents the voice of a cross section of secondary school age young people in South Yorkshire to reflect their experience of sexual harassment in their daily lives.
The Insight Report: SEND was published in February 2024 to explore how needs have changed in the city and consider why this might be, and how we might improve the experiences of children and young people. This report was a starting point for the development of a new approach to speech, language and communication strategy in Sheffield.
