St Mary's Church of England Primary School
Sheffield, S6 2WJ · Sheffield · primary school
20th 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 — 8.5/10 against 2,097 of them, against 7.2/10 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 | 71.0 · 68 | 40% | 2.73 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 13.0 · 78 | 25% | 1.94 |
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, 71.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 13.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in December 2022. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (8.5 out of 10 against similar schools, 7.2 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils join Choir, STEM, and Computing clubs, play netball and gymnastics, and visit Weston Park Museum, Crucial Crew, Sheffield Theatre, Sheffield Cathedral, Sheffield Buddhist Centre, Ecclesall Woods, Magna, and Ponds Forge. Both breakfast and after-school clubs are available.
Getting in. The school has 223 pupils in a building with 210 places, meaning it is over capacity by 13. Consequently, places are competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school manage the pressure of being over capacity? What specific support is available for the 13.0% of pupils who did not reach the higher standard? How has the teaching quality maintained since the 2022 inspection?
