Oxspring Primary School
Sheffield, S36 8YW · Barnsley · primary school
13th of 72 primary schools in Barnsley we can score, 77 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 4,045 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 7.4/10 among them, against 7.9/10 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 | 78.0 · 84 | 40% | 3.36 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 11.0 · 71 | 25% | 1.77 |
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, 78.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 11.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in May 2024. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 7.4 out of 10 among them, against 7.9 out of 10 nationally.
Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join Mr Stratford’s Sports Club or Mrs Carmichael’s Craft Club. The school offers Sports Day, multi-skills, tag rugby, and cross country running. Both a breakfast club and an after-school club are available.
Getting in. The school has 135 pupils in a capacity of 140, leaving 5 spare places. This means the school is close to full, so places are likely to be competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who do not reach the higher standard in maths? What specific activities are included in the multi-skills sessions? How does the school manage the competitive nature of admissions with only 5 places remaining?
