Intake Primary School
About Intake Primary School
Intake Primary School sits in the bottom half of Sheffield primary schools when it comes to the key headline metric: the percentage of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths at Key Stage 2. At 47%, that figure is a full ten percentage points below the Sheffield local authority average of 57%. In a borough with 131 primary schools, Intake ranks 81st, placing it firmly in the bottom 50% nationally. That said, the picture is more nuanced than a single number suggests. The school’s reading and writing scores tell a different story: 72% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, and 80% did so in writing — both comfortably above the combined RWM figure. The drag comes from maths, where only 52% reached the expected level. So while the headline metric looks weak, it’s driven by a specific subject gap rather than across-the-board underperformance.
