The event will include a tour of the new academy which incorporates the old school building.

Principal designate of Astrea Academy Sheffield, Kim Walton, said: “With the combination of a Grade II listed building and a brand new building, there is a real physical heritage to our new school.

"We want to celebrate that by inviting former pupils to come and see for themselves what Astrea Academy Sheffield is all about.

"Ahead of that though, we’d love for alumni to think about the academy for their own children or grandchildren – it would be absolutely wonderful to have some of the same families in our very first cohort of children joining reception.”
