About Whiteways Primary School

Whiteways Primary School in Sheffield sits in an interesting position when you compare its headline Key Stage 2 results against the local authority average. The school’s proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined is 50%, which is seven percentage points below the Sheffield primary average of 57%. That places Whiteways 74th out of 106 primary schools in the local authority, putting it in the bottom half of Sheffield primaries. But the picture isn’t uniformly below average. In reading, 70% of pupils hit the expected standard and the average scaled score of 105 is solid, while 32% reached the higher standard in reading — a stronger showing. Maths tells a slightly different story: 58% reached the expected level and the average score was exactly 100, the national benchmark. The school’s overall ranking in Yorkshire and the Humber is in the bottom quarter nationally, but the reading results suggest there are pockets of genuine strength.
