Oasis Academy Fir Vale
Sheffield, S4 8GA · Sheffield · primary school
89th 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 — 2.9/10 against 100 of them, against 1.3/10 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 | 37.0 · 6 | 40% | 0.24 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 2.0 · 24 | 25% | 0.60 |
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, 37.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 2.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in June 2026. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (2.9 out of 10 against similar schools, 1.3 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils join the Toothbrush Club and play football, bowling, and multi-sport activities. Trips include Weston Park Museum, the Butterfly House, and Concord Sports Centre. A breakfast club is available, but there is no after-school club.
Getting in. The school has 434 pupils in a capacity of 420 places, meaning it is over capacity by 14. The school is over its stated capacity, so places are competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school manage the daily transition for children when there is no after-school provision? What specific support is offered to help pupils bridge the gap between the current 37.0% attainment rate and the national median? How are places allocated when demand exceeds the 420 available spots?
