Formal education in Sheffield, a city in England, takes place at the city's two universities, 141 primary schools and 27 secondary schools.
The University of Sheffield and Sheffield Hallam University combined bring 55,000 students to the city every year, including many from the Far East. As a result of its large student population, Sheffield has many bars, cafes, clubs, and shops as well as student housing to accommodate them.
Sheffield has two further education colleges. Sheffield College is organised on a collegiate basis and was originally created from the merger of six colleges around the city, since reduced to three main centres: City in the city centre, Hillsborough in the north, and Norton in the south, each operating as semi-autonomous constituents of Sheffield College. Longley Park Sixth Form College, opened in 2004.
Seven of the secondary schools have sixth forms, namely High Storrs, King Ecgbert, King Edward VII, Silverdale, and Tapton, all lying in the south or west of Sheffield, and the two Catholic schools, All Saints and Notre Dame. The full list of state-funded secondary schools is:
