Check the area around this school
91st 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.
Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — 0.6/10 against 3,131 of them, against 1.0/10 nationally. So this is not simply a reflection of who attends. 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 | 42.0 · 10 | 40% | 0.38 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 0.0 · 10 | 25% | 0.26 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

What Ofsted said about St Theresa's Catholic Primary School
Overview
St Theresa’s Catholic Primary School continues to be a good school, characterised by strong relationships between parents, pupils, and staff. The report highlights a nurturing environment where pupils show respect, feel safe, and achieve well in core subjects like English and mathematics.
Strengths
- Pupils demonstrate high levels of respect and good behaviour, with bullying described as rare.
- Achievement is strong in core subjects; pupils are well equipped for secondary school, particularly in mathematics and reading.
- The curriculum is inclusive, with effective support for pupils with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) and those speaking English as an additional language.
- Personal development is a priority, with pupils engaging in leadership roles, community service, and diverse cultural celebrations.
- Staff well-being is prioritised, and the school maintains a strong reputation with local partnerships and parents.
Areas to improve
- In a small number of foundation subjects, such as geography and art, key knowledge has not been fully identified, meaning teachers are unclear about curriculum end points and pupils do not always achieve as well as they are capable of.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective.
