Newfield Secondary School is a comprehensive school for 11–16 year olds. It is situated in the south of Sheffield, South Yorkshire, England, in the area of Norton Lees. There are around 900 students at the school.^[1]

Physical aspects of the school

The school has its own private drive from Lees Hall Road which leads on to a split site with one wing partially demolished. This wing is closest to the entrance and is called the Applied Learning Centre (Previously West Wing). This wing now holds two science labs, the Design and Technology and Business Studies departments with some IT suits. Another Wing further along the drive, Newfield Learning Centre (Previously known as East Wing) is the main building of the school and contains most aspects of the school. Behind this is a temporary building called the Village which houses R.E, English, Art and Dance. Also situated on the site is the South Sheffield Computer Learning Centre (CLC) which is closed temporally for extension work and will open fully in September 2008.^{[dated info]}

The school's current pass rate (2011) is at 45% for 5 A*–C at GCSE.^[2]

New build

The school's rebuild, finished in January 2009, brought new facilities so that the school can further education. Some of the new facilities include a recording room, a gym with seats for spectators and astroturf football pitches. On the lower field, there is also a special school. It has been given the name Talbot. The school was started on in summer 2007 and was completed in January 2009.
