Following the huge success of Aspiration day over the last three years, Sheffield Park Academy will be holding their fourth annual 'Aspiration Day' on Friday 26th January 2018.

Last year saw 1,000 students attend the event but due to this year's event being on a school day we can guarantee attendance from 1,000 Sheffield Park Academy students and we hope to attract over 200 students and their families from the other cluster and local schools. Aspiration Day this year will be the culmination of a programme of work to raise not only aspiration but the cultural capital of students within United Learning in Yorkshire.
