17th of 29 secondary schools in Sheffield we can score, 30 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 — 6.7/10 against 262 of them, against 4.3/10 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ofsted | 14 | 35% | 0.50 |
| Grade 5+ English & maths 2025/26 | 42.7 · 44 | 30% | 1.32 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | -0.07 · 45 | 25% | 1.12 |
| Attainment 8 2025/26 | 43.7 · 38 | 10% | 0.38 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

How it's doing
In 2024/25, 41.1% of pupils achieved Grade 5 or above in English and maths, with an Attainment 8 score of 41.1 against a national median of 44.6. Progress 8 was -0.07 in 2023/24, indicating pupils did worse than those nationally who started from the same place. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (6.8 out of 10 against similar schools, 4.1 out of 10 against all schools). Ofsted inspected the school in February 2026 under the new report-card framework, which grades each area separately and gives no overall grade.

Strengths

- Safeguarding standards are met, with an “open culture” where concerns are actively identified and managed.
- Careers education is a “significant strength,” ensuring very few pupils leave without firm plans for the future.
Areas to improve
