Southey Green Nursery & Primary School
Sheffield, S5 7QG · Sheffield · primary school
84th 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 — 5.4/10 against 833 of them, against 3.9/10 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 | 64.0 · 49 | 40% | 1.97 |
| Ofsted | 9 | 35% | 0.32 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 1.0 · 21 | 25% | 0.53 |
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, 64.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, matching the national median of 64%. Only 1.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in January 2026. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (5.4 out of 10 against similar schools, 3.9 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. A breakfast club is available for pupils.
Getting in. The school has 727 pupils in a capacity of 630, meaning it is over capacity by 97. The school is over its stated capacity, so places are competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. With the school significantly over capacity, how does the admissions process handle new applications? Since there is no after-school club, what options exist for care after the school day ends? How does the school support pupils who are not reaching the higher standard in their core subjects?
