About Shortbrook Primary School

Shortbrook Primary School in Sheffield holds a Good rating from Ofsted, a grade it has maintained since its previous inspection in 2014. The most recent graded inspection, in November 2023, awarded Good across every category: overall effectiveness, quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision. But the school’s academic story is best told through its Key Stage 2 results. In the 2023/24 academic year, 67% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined. That figure is ten percentage points above the Sheffield local authority average of 57%, placing Shortbrook 29th out of 106 primary schools in the area — comfortably in the top 30%. The school also outperforms the LA average on individual subjects, with 83% of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading and 89% in writing.
