55th 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 — 5.1/10 against 994 of them, against 3.8/10 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 | 59.0 · 37 | 40% | 1.47 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 5.0 · 40 | 25% | 1.01 |
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 Stradbroke Primary School
Overview
Stradbroke Primary School continues to be a good school, where leaders’ vision underpins the work. Pupils receive a strong foundation in English and mathematics, enjoying a wide curriculum, though knowledge in some other subjects remains limited. The school fosters a purposeful learning atmosphere with high expectations for all pupils, including those with special educational needs.
Strengths
- Leaders provide effective support and coaching, resulting in high staff morale and a ‘constant drive to do even better’.
- English and mathematics curriculums are planned in detail and implemented well, with teachers using assessment and feedback effectively.
- A new scheme for early reading has improved phonic knowledge, with most pupils reading accurately and with fluency.
- Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities are well supported by specialist staff and progress towards individual targets.
- Safeguarding arrangements are effective, with staff trained to raise concerns and pupils taught about online risks.
Areas to improve
- Leaders must implement their recently created, well-sequenced curriculum plans across all national curriculum subjects to address gaps in knowledge in foundation subjects.
- The school needs to improve pupil attendance, as too many pupils miss crucial learning due to irregular attendance by parents and carers.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective, with staff completing necessary training in a timely manner and responding swiftly to referrals to access help for pupils.
