Ecclesall Primary School

About Ecclesall Primary School

Ecclesall Primary School holds a Good rating from Ofsted, placing it within the majority of Sheffield’s 131 primary schools that are not graded Outstanding. The school’s most telling academic metric is its Key Stage 2 performance, which sits above the local authority average of 57% of pupils meeting the expected standard in reading, writing and maths. While the exact figure for Ecclesall is not recorded here, the context matters: in a local authority where only 14 schools achieve Outstanding, a Good rating with above-average KS2 outcomes is a strong signal of consistent, solid teaching. The school’s headteacher, Emma Hardy, leads a mixed, non-denominational state primary for children aged 4 to 11, with a capacity of 630 pupils. This is a sizeable school, and the combination of a Good Ofsted grade and above-average results suggests a reliable academic foundation for most children, without the selective pressure of an Outstanding-rated neighbour like Hunter’s Bar Junior School, which sits just 1.5 km away.
