45th 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.
Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still — 5.6/10 against 1,547 of them, against 4.4/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.
How this is worked out
| Measure | Percentile | Weight | Adds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 59.0 · 37 | 40% | 1.47 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 8.0 · 57 | 25% | 1.43 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

What Ofsted said about Emmanuel Anglican/Methodist Junior Academy
Overview
Emmanuel Anglican/Methodist Junior School continues to be a good school, having maintained its previous judgement. Leaders have created a ‘safe and happy community’ where pupils are ‘respectful, courageous and safe’ and enjoy their education. The school has successfully addressed previous curriculum weaknesses through a new, well-thought-through approach that supports pupil achievement.
Strengths
- Pupils display positive behaviour, with bullying being ‘extremely rare’ and staff resolving issues ‘quickly and effectively’.
- The new curriculum is ‘well thought through’, with clear end goals and underpinning knowledge identified in most subjects, helping pupils achieve well.
- Teachers provide high-quality training and support, making ‘effective choices to help pupils learn and remember new knowledge’ and addressing misconceptions well.
- Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) receive ‘subtle and appropriate adaptations’ and achieve well with timely support.
- Phonics sessions are delivered ‘very effectively’, with books matching known sounds to help pupils read confidently.
Areas to improve
- In a small number of subjects, the specific underlying knowledge required is not yet fully identified, leading to minor gaps in pupil knowledge.
- Pupils do not remember as much about aspects of religious education, specifically other world faiths, though leaders are addressing this.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective, with staff reporting concerns immediately and leaders following them up ‘quickly and effectively’ while involving external agencies where needed.
