Oasis Academy Watermead
Sheffield, S5 8RJ · Sheffield · primary school
30th 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 — 7.3/10 against 1,089 of them, against 5.6/10 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 | 70.0 · 65 | 62% | 4.02 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 5.0 · 40 | 38% | 1.55 |
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, 70.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 5.0% reached the higher standard. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (7.3 out of 10 against similar schools, 5.6 out of 10 against all schools).
Getting in. The school has 434 pupils in a building with 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 routine with 14 more pupils than its official capacity? What support is available for pupils who have not reached the expected standard? How does the school handle admissions when demand exceeds the 420 available places?
