Birley Primary Academy at a glance

Located in Sheffield, Birley Primary Academy is a primary school, classified by the DfE as a converter academy. The school educates roughly 541 pupils aged 2 to 11. In the most recent Key Stage 2 SATs, 62% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined — broadly in line with the national average of 61%. That marks an improvement of 16.0 percentage points in the proportion reaching the expected standard on the previous year. On our composite score, which combines the DfE attainment measures above, this places it in the lower half of primary schools nationally.

Birley Primary Academy was not oversubscribed for September 2026: all 52 families who put it first were offered a place. Overall pupil absence was 6.4%. There are about 22.0 pupils per teacher. Birley Primary Academy 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.
