About Bradfield School

Bradfield School, a mixed state secondary in Sheffield, stands out from the local average in a way that demands a closer look. While the local authority average Progress 8 score for secondary schools sits at -0.4, Bradfield’s own Progress 8 score is not available in the most recent data, making a direct headline comparison impossible. However, its Attainment 8 score of 32.4 and EBacc average point score of 2.77 are notably low, and the school recorded a 0% entry rate for the EBacc qualification at both the 9-4 and 9-5 thresholds. This is a significant divergence from the typical Sheffield secondary, and it aligns with the school’s overall Ofsted rating of Inadequate. For parents, this immediately signals that academic performance at Key Stage 4 is a serious concern, and the school is currently underperforming relative to its peers in the city.
