About Emmanuel Anglican/Methodist Junior School

Emmanuel Anglican/Methodist Junior School sits 72nd out of 106 primary schools in Sheffield, placing it in the bottom half of the local authority. Its headline metric — the percentage of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined — stands at 51%, which is six percentage points below the Sheffield average of 57%. That gap is modest but real, and it means the school is not among the strongest academic performers in the city. However, the picture is more nuanced than a single number suggests. The school’s most recent Ofsted inspection, in 2023, rated it Good overall, with leadership and management also judged Good. That’s a significant improvement from its previous graded inspection in 2018, when it was rated Requires Improvement. So while the raw results lag the LA average, the school has demonstrably turned a corner under headteacher Leyton McHale.
