About Woodhouse West Primary School

Woodhouse West Primary School in Sheffield is a larger-than-average state primary where the headline academic metrics sit noticeably below the local authority average. In the 2023/24 Key Stage 2 results, 44% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with a Sheffield LA average of 57%. That gap of 13 percentage points places the school 86th out of 106 primaries in the borough, firmly in the bottom half of local schools. The picture is mixed when you look at individual subjects: 68% hit the expected level in reading and 64% in maths, but writing lagged at 51%. Only 20% of pupils achieved a higher standard in reading, and just 8% did so in maths, with none reaching the higher threshold in writing. These figures reflect a school serving a community with high levels of disadvantage — 56% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, more than double the national average — and the results should be read in that context.
