Fox Hill is a successful school (Ofsted Good - July 2019) in the north of Sheffield serving predominantly the Fox Hill estate. The school has approximately 57% of the cohort deemed disadvantaged pupils and also hosts an Integrated Resource base for 24 pupils with ‘complex and multiple’ special educational needs. The school was rehoused in a new building in 2015.

Fox Hill works closely with the local secondary school and is a targeted English Hub (Whiston Worrygoose) network school for early reading and phonics.

Greenhill Primary is a rapidly improving school (Ofsted Requires Improvement – December 2015) serving the Greenhill village community in the south of the city.

SCSP are delighted that an IR for 12 children with SEMH/ASD is to be opened on site and the pre-school provision, currently on site will become a school based nursery. Both of these changes are due to take place in September 2022.
