Check the area around this school
40th 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 4,242 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 3.8/10 among them, against 4.8/10 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 | 60.0 · 39 | 40% | 1.56 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 9.0 · 61 | 25% | 1.53 |
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 Nether Green Junior School
Overview
Nether Green Junior School is described as a "supportive and nurturing place" that has taken effective action to maintain standards from its previous inspection. The school fosters a culture of positive behaviour, inclusivity, and high expectations, with pupils demonstrating pride in their values and engagement in learning.
Strengths
- Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities are "expertly integrated" into school life, enriching the community and promoting inclusivity.
- The curriculum is broad and balanced, with teachers helping pupils "remember and connect their knowledge over time," such as in geography and physical education.
- Reading is prioritised effectively; pupils use phonics skills well, and those needing extra practice are "quickly identified" to build fluency.
- Leadership is effective at all levels, prioritising staff and pupil well-being, while governors provide "effective support and challenge."
- Personal development is strong, with pupil-led assemblies and activities promoting cultural awareness, diversity, and fundamental British values.
Areas to improve
- The school should prioritise teaching correct pen grip and letter formation, ensuring pupils have enough practice to improve handwriting accuracy and build writing fluency, as some older pupils continue to struggle.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective.
