About Dobcroft Nursery Infant School

Dobcroft Nursery Infant School is a state primary in Sheffield, catering for children aged 3 to 7. It sits within a local landscape of strong-performing peers, with Dobcroft Junior School, Totley Primary School and Angram Bank Primary School all ranking closely nearby. The school is one of 131 primary schools in the Sheffield local authority, and while it currently holds a Good rating from Ofsted, the nearest Outstanding-rated primary is Nether Edge Primary School, about two kilometres away. Dobcroft’s most recent inspection, in December 2021, saw it retain a Good overall effectiveness grade, a step down from the Outstanding it achieved in its previous inspection back in 2007. That said, the inspection report awarded Outstanding marks in three of the five sub-categories: early years provision, personal development, and behaviour and attitudes. Leadership and management, and quality of education, were both rated Good. The school has a capacity of 270 pupils and offers nursery provision for three-year-olds, making it a popular early-years option for families in the area.
