Ballifield Primary School

Sheffield, S13 9HH · Sheffield · primary school

Ofsted: Good · 2022 Inspected 4 years ago Mixed Primary
4.8/10 Broadly average

43rd of 107 primary schools in Sheffield we can score, 132 in total — the rest without enough published data. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.

Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — 4.5/10 against 3,672 of them, against 4.6/10 nationally. So this is not simply a reflection of who attends. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.

Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

Your offer chance

Based on official applications/offers, distance and catchment where we have it. Bands only — never a percentage.

Sibling, faith, looked-after and other criteria can override distance. Always confirm with the school or local authority.
