About St Ann's Catholic Primary School, A Voluntary Academy
St Ann's Catholic Primary School, a voluntary academy in Sheffield, presents a mixed picture when compared with the local authority average for primary schools. In the 2023/24 Key Stage 2 results, just 43% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, which is notably below the Sheffield average of 57%. This places the school 89th out of 106 primary schools in the local authority, putting it in the bottom half of the rankings. However, a closer look at individual subjects reveals a more nuanced story. While maths scores were in line with the national average at 100, reading scores were slightly above at 104, and 64% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading alone. The school's most recent Ofsted inspection, an ungraded visit in January 2025, confirmed that standards are being maintained, and it continues to hold a Good rating across all areas, including behaviour, personal development and early years provision.
