As of January 2023, the most recent data shows that the GCSE (Grade 5 or Above) pass rate, including English and Maths, was 57%, which was well above the average for Sheffield (47%) and for the UK (50%).

31% of students at Meadowhead School entered the English Baccalaureate, compared with 37% in Sheffield and 39% nationally.

In October 2017 Meadowhead School Academy Trust opened their new 6th form building.

The building has been in the plan to be built for many years and the opening has led to much interest in their 6th Form facilities.
