Malin Bridge Primary School
Sheffield, S6 4RH · Sheffield · primary school
9th 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 — 8.3/10 against 3,498 of them, against 7.6/10 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 | 71.0 · 68 | 40% | 2.73 |
| Ofsted | 96 | 35% | 3.37 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 18.0 · 89 | 25% | 2.23 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

Beyond the classroom. Pupils join the Christian Union, Code Club, and Gifted and Talented after-school club. Music lessons include piano, guitar, and woodwind. Trips visit Rivelin Valley, the Yorkshire Natural History Museum, Weston Park Museum, Cannon Hall Farm, Matlock farm, Ninja Warrior Wincobank, an Iron Age Hillfort, and Air Haus. Both breakfast and after-school clubs are available.
Getting in. The school has 619 pupils in a building with 577 places, meaning it is over capacity by 42. The school is over its stated capacity, so places are competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school manage the daily logistics with 42 more pupils than its official capacity? What specific support is offered to the 18.0% of pupils who reach the higher standard? How are the various music and club activities scheduled to avoid conflicts with core lessons?
