About St Wilfrid's Catholic Primary School

St Wilfrid's Catholic Primary School sits within the Sheffield local authority, where it ranks 12th out of 106 primary schools — comfortably inside the top 25 per cent of its peers. The three highest-scoring schools in the area are Dobcroft Junior School, Angram Bank Primary School and Totley Primary School, all of which sit just ahead in the rankings. St Wilfrid's is a state-funded Roman Catholic primary for mixed-gender pupils aged 3 to 11, with a nursery on site. The school is led by headteacher Delia Evans and currently has 280 pupils on roll against a capacity of 323, so there is some room for growth. It is oversubscribed for the 2025/26 intake, with 70 applications for 37 places and 34 first-preference offers made. The school's most recent Ofsted inspection, in 2022, rated it Good across every category — quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision. This is a step down from its previous Outstanding rating in 2007, but the school remains a strong performer locally.
