98th 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 the 3,977 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 0.9/10 among them, against 1.8/10 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 | 43.0 · 11 | 62% | 0.65 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 3.0 · 29 | 38% | 1.13 |
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 High Green Primary School
Overview
High Green Primary School is described as a "welcoming place" where pupils feel "safe, happy and supported." The inspection found that leaders have made "effective changes to the curriculum," resulting in "significant improvement to pupils’ achievements" following previous low outcomes. The school fosters a "caring community" with high expectations for behaviour and learning.
Strengths
- Pupils enjoy "outdoor learning" in spaces like the ‘woodland’ and ‘allotment’, which benefits their well-being.
- Support for pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) is a "strength of the school," with well-integrated adaptations.
- Staff are "experts at delivering phonics," ensuring pupils learn to read well and develop a "lasting enjoyment of books."
- Early years provision is a "growing strength," with clear routines helping children develop independence and self-control.
- A wide range of diverse experiences, including sports and music, helps pupils build an "appreciation for the arts" and responsibility.
Areas to improve
- The school must clearly identify key knowledge and skills in some foundation subjects so pupils can build learning "step by step over time."

Safeguarding
The report states that "the arrangements for safeguarding are effective."
