Wickersley Northfield Primary School
About Wickersley Northfield Primary School
Wickersley Northfield Primary School holds a Good rating from Ofsted, a grade it has maintained across its two most recent inspections, with the latest ungraded inspection in 2023 confirming the school remains Good. The most telling academic metric is its Key Stage 2 combined reading, writing and maths expected standard attainment, which sits at 84 per cent. That figure places the school fourth out of 84 primary schools in Rotherham, comfortably inside the top ten per cent nationally and well above the local authority average of 60 per cent. In maths specifically, 96 per cent of pupils reached the expected standard and 51 per cent achieved the higher standard, with an average scaled score of 110. Reading and writing expected standards are similarly strong at 88 per cent and 89 per cent respectively. The school’s performance is particularly impressive given that only 10 per cent of pupils are eligible for free school meals, a figure below the national average.
