About St Mary's Church of England Primary School

St Mary's Church of England Primary School in Sheffield sits slightly below the local authority average for its key stage 2 headline measure. In the 2023/24 academic year, 55% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with a Sheffield primary average of 57%. That two-point gap is modest, but it places the school 60th out of 106 primaries in the borough, squarely in the bottom half. The picture is more mixed when you look at individual subjects: 76% hit the expected level in reading and 72% in maths, both respectable figures, while writing lagged at 69%. Where the school really stands out is in behaviour and attitudes — Ofsted rated this Outstanding in its most recent graded inspection in 2022, the only category to earn that top mark. The overall effectiveness remains Good, a rating it has held across both its recent inspections, with leadership and management, quality of education, personal development and early years provision all judged Good.
