About Deepcar St John's Church of England Junior School

Deepcar St John's Church of England Junior School holds a Good rating from Ofsted following its most recent inspection in June 2024, a grade it has maintained consistently across both its recent inspections. The school’s strongest academic indicator is its Key Stage 2 performance in reading, writing and maths combined. In the 2023/24 academic year, 71% of pupils reached the expected standard in all three subjects, which is notably higher than the Sheffield local authority average of 57%. This places the school 19th out of 106 primary schools in the area, comfortably in the top 20% of its local authority. The school also ranks in the top 50 nationally by this metric. Within a 1.3 kilometre radius, the nearest outstanding-rated school is Stocksbridge Junior School, but Deepcar’s solid Good rating and above-average results make it a strong contender for families prioritising core academic attainment.
