About Rivelin Primary School

Rivelin Primary School's headline Key Stage 2 results present a mixed picture when set against the Sheffield local authority average. While the school's proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined sits at 55%, slightly below the LA average of 57%, its average scaled scores tell a stronger story. Pupils achieved an average maths score of 107 and a reading score of 106, both comfortably above the national benchmark of 100. Where the school really stands out is in maths attainment: 86% of pupils met the expected standard in maths, and 33% reached the higher standard. This contrasts with writing, where only 59% met expectations and just 4% achieved the higher mark. The school ranks 58th out of 106 primary schools in Sheffield, placing it in the bottom half of the local authority, though it's worth noting this ranking is based on the combined RWM expected measure, which doesn't capture the stronger maths performance.
