Marsh Lane Primary School

About Marsh Lane Primary School

Marsh Lane Primary School is a primary school in Sheffield, Derbyshire, classified by the DfE as a community school. Around 142 pupils aged 4 to 11 attend the school. In the most recent Key Stage 2 SATs, 90% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined — well above the national average of 61%. That marks an improvement of 22.0 percentage points in the proportion reaching the expected standard on the previous year, though small year groups can make these figures swing sharply from year to year. On our composite score, which combines the DfE attainment measures above, this places it among the top 4% of primary schools in England.

Pupils achieved an average scaled score of 108 in reading and 110 in maths (national averages are about 105 and 104). 20% reached the higher standard across all three subjects (around 8% do so nationally). Marsh Lane Primary School was not oversubscribed for September 2026: all 14 families who put it first were offered a place. Overall pupil absence was 5.3%. There are about 19.7 pupils per teacher. Marsh Lane Primary School does not currently have a recent graded Ofsted judgement on record (often the case for newer or recently converted schools), so it is worth asking when its next inspection is expected.
