About Pye Bank CofE Primary School

Pye Bank CofE Primary School sits well below the Sheffield average for its key stage 2 headline measure. The local authority average for the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined is 57 per cent, but at Pye Bank that figure is just 41 per cent. That gap of 16 percentage points places the school 90th out of 106 primary schools in Sheffield, firmly in the bottom half of the local league table. Nationally, it sits in the bottom 10 per cent of all primary schools on this metric. The school is also oversubscribed — 76 families applied for 50 places in 2025/26, with 46 of those as first preferences — suggesting that despite the below-average results, local demand remains strong. That may reflect the school's Church of England character, its nursery provision for three-year-olds, or simply its position within the community.
