| Quality of education | Requires improvement |
| Outcomes for pupils | Requires improvement |
| Behaviour and attitudes | Requires improvement |
| Leadership and management | Requires improvement |
| Early years | Requires improvement |

Since then, a shorter ungraded inspection on 5 March 2025: Ofsted found some aspects were not as strong as at the last graded inspection.

What parents say
33 parents answered Ofsted's Parent View survey between 3 September 2024 and 1 September 2025.
Sheffield (Derbyshire) comparisons use the 3 of its 7 state primary schools with comparable results. The other 4 have no published Parent View results (Ofsted only publishes a survey once at least 10 parents answer) or used Ofsted's newer questions, which we don't compare with the older ones.

Parents choose whether to take part, so these answers may not represent all families (Ofsted puts the response rate at 21%). Figures are the share who agree or strongly agree. England figures are all parents answering the same questions over the same period, for state-funded schools. Sheffield (Derbyshire) figures pool parents at the Sheffield (Derbyshire) schools compared, from each school's latest survey, so survey dates differ between schools. The scales run from lower (left) to higher (right) agreement, and the dot marks this school among state schools of the same phase that used the same survey questions. The third it falls in is coloured: green for the top third, amber the middle, red the bottom. This survey used Ofsted's previous Parent View questions, which changed in November 2025.

Comparisons are with primary schools. Scales run from lower (left) to higher (right) figures. For absence and suspensions lower is better, so their scales run green to red; blue scales describe the school's pupils and staff and aren't good or bad. * Calculated by SchoolScores from the council's or England's schools, weighted by pupils (or teachers, for turnover); other figures are published by DfE.
