About Stradbroke Primary School

Stradbroke Primary School in Sheffield is a state-funded, mixed primary for ages 2 to 11 that currently teaches 481 pupils against a capacity of 522. The school serves a community with a notably high level of disadvantage: 49.4% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, well above the national average for primary schools. Demand for places is strong — for the 2025/26 intake, the school received 95 applications for 57 total places, with exactly 57 first-preference applications matching the number of offers made. That oversubscription ratio of 1.67 to 1 suggests a school that local families actively seek out, despite not being the highest-ranked in the local authority. Headteacher John Sitch leads a school that has nursery provision on site, and the pupil body is mixed by gender, with no religious character attached to the school.
