Meersbrook Bank Primary School
Sheffield, S8 9EH · Sheffield · primary school
33rd 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 4,001 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 3.8/10 among them, against 5.3/10 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 57.0 · 32 | 40% | 1.29 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 17.0 · 87 | 25% | 2.18 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.
Get to know the school
How it's doing. In 2024/25, 57.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. The higher standard was reached by 17.0%. Ofsted rated the school Good in September 2022. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 3.8 out of 10 among them, against 5.3 out of 10 nationally.
Beyond the classroom. Pupils join the School Council and Eco-Council, participate in athletics, dance, gymnastics, swimming, and outdoor education, and access Ridgeway Music. An after-school club is available, but there is no breakfast club.
Getting in. The school has 229 pupils in a building with 210 places, meaning it is over capacity by 19. Consequently, places are competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school manage the pressure of being over capacity? What specific support is offered to pupils who have not reached the expected standard? How does the after-school club integrate with the main curriculum?
