Porter Croft Church of England Primary Academy
Sheffield, S11 8JN · Sheffield · primary school
65th 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 — 4.3/10 against 1,900 of them, against 3.7/10 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 | 50.0 · 19 | 62% | 1.17 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 10.0 · 66 | 38% | 2.54 |
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, 50.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 10.0% reached the higher standard. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (4.3 out of 10 against similar schools, 3.7 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils participate in the Young Voices club and choir, which also performs at parent assemblies.
Getting in. The school has 209 pupils in a capacity of 210, leaving just 1 spare place. The school is close to full, so places are likely to be competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. With only 1 place available, how does the school manage waiting lists for new starters? Since there is no breakfast or after-school club, what options exist for parents needing wraparound care? How does the school support pupils who are below the expected standard in core subjects?
