About Coit Primary School

Coit Primary School sits within the Sheffield local authority, a large urban area with 131 primary schools to choose from. The school ranks 22nd in the LA, placing it comfortably in the top 20% of all primaries in the city. Its closest performing peers at the top of the table are Dobcroft Junior School, Totley Primary School, and Angram Bank Primary School, all of which score slightly higher on the same KS2 metric. Coit is a state-funded, mixed-gender primary for children aged 4 to 11, with no religious character and no nursery or sixth-form provision. Headteacher Louise Chadwick leads a school that is oversubscribed: for the 2025/26 intake, 78 families applied for 30 places, and 28 of the 33 first-preference families were offered a spot, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.6. That level of demand suggests a strong local reputation, and the school’s capacity of 210 is almost exactly matched by its current roll of 204 pupils.
