About All Saints' Catholic High School

All Saints' Catholic High School in Sheffield holds a Good rating from its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2023, a step down from the Outstanding grade it achieved in its previous graded inspection back in 2011. The school's leadership and management were also rated Good. But the real story lies in the exam data. All Saints' Progress 8 score sits at 0.05, meaning pupils achieve outcomes almost exactly in line with the national average. That might not sound flashy, but it's a strong result in context: the Sheffield local authority average Progress 8 score is -0.4, so pupils here are performing significantly better than the typical student across the borough. This places the school 5th out of 29 secondary schools in Sheffield, putting it in the top 20 per cent locally. In a city where only three schools hold an Outstanding rating, All Saints' is clearly a solid academic choice.
