About Carfield Primary School

Carfield Primary School’s most recent Ofsted inspection in 2023 rated it Requires Improvement across every category, including overall effectiveness, quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, early years provision, and leadership and management. This marks a clear step down from its previous Good rating in 2019. However, the school’s Key Stage 2 results for 2023/24 tell a more nuanced story. While only 11% of pupils reached the higher standard in reading, writing and maths combined, 65% met the expected standard in all three subjects. That figure sits comfortably above the Sheffield local authority average of 57%, placing Carfield 35th out of 106 primary schools in the area and in the top 50% nationally. The school’s maths and reading average scores both sit at 106, and 85% of pupils achieved the expected standard in each of those subjects individually.
