About Pipworth Community Primary School

Pipworth Community Primary School sits in the top quarter of Sheffield primary schools, ranking 23rd out of 106 in the local authority. Its headline metric — the percentage of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined — stands at 70%, a full 13 percentage points above the Sheffield average of 57%. That gap is significant and suggests the school is delivering results well ahead of what most families in the area can expect from a state primary. The school is also comfortably in the top 50% nationally, ranking 4,259th out of 13,686 primaries. Given that more than half of its pupils (55.4%) are eligible for free school meals, a figure well above the national average, these results are particularly striking. They point to a school that is adding real value for children from a wide range of backgrounds, not just coasting on a privileged intake.
