44th 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 — 6.6/10 against 570 of them, against 4.5/10 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 | 65.0 · 52 | 40% | 2.07 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 4.0 · 35 | 25% | 0.88 |
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 Hazels Junior School
Overview
High Hazels Junior School has taken effective action to maintain the standards identified at the previous inspection. Pupils are described as happy and safe in a "warm, cheerful and welcoming" environment where they meet high expectations for achievement and behaviour. The school benefits significantly from its membership of the United Learning Trust, with leaders demonstrating an "unswerving commitment" to serving pupils and the community.
Strengths
- Pupils’ behaviour is "impeccable," characterised by "positive attitudes to learning" and "purposeful order" maintained through well-established routines.
- The curriculum is "ambitious" and skilfully adapted to pupils’ needs, with teachers using strong subject knowledge to help pupils build understanding over time.
- Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) are identified quickly and receive "expert support," allowing them to access the same ambitious curriculum as their peers.
- The school provides an "exceptional personal development offer," fostering strong inclusive values and ensuring pupils understand protected characteristics and healthy relationships.
- Reading is "promoted and celebrated," with a vibrant new library and focused support ensuring non-fluent readers catch up quickly.
Areas to improve
- The school should ensure staff have the expertise to identify and address errors in pupils’ written work, as "misconceptions in letter formation, spelling and grammar become embedded" when not routinely corrected.
- Although attendance strategies are improving, pupils’ attendance is "still not high enough" and requires further enhancement.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective.
