About Parson Cross Church of England Primary School

Parson Cross Church of England Primary School holds a Good rating from Ofsted, a grade it has maintained across its two most recent inspections, the latest of which took place in 2023. The inspection report awarded Good across every category, including quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, and early years provision. The most telling academic metric for this primary school is the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, which sits at 52%. That figure is below the Sheffield local authority average of 57%, and it places the school 66th out of 106 similar schools in the area. In the national rankings, it falls within the bottom half of all primary schools. The school’s average scores in reading and maths both sit at 103, which is in line with the national average for scaled scores, but the proportion of pupils reaching the higher standard in those subjects is notably low, at 16% for reading and maths, and just 10% for writing.
