About Dore Primary School

Dore Primary School holds a Good rating from its most recent Ofsted inspection in March 2025, a change from its previous Outstanding grade in 2015. The inspection judged all areas as Good, including quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, and leadership. On the key academic metric for primary schools, 66% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined at Key Stage 2 in the 2023/24 academic year. That figure sits above the Sheffield local authority average of 57%, placing Dore 32nd out of 106 primary schools in the area. The school also performs well on higher attainment: 10% of pupils reached the higher standard across all three subjects, while 36% achieved a higher score in reading specifically. Average scaled scores of 105 in maths and 106 in reading further underline solid academic performance, though the school does not publish progress scores for any subject.
