Red dashed line = one first choice per place. How to read this

Every child who put Harthill Primary School first was offered a place in 2026, so no distance cut-off applied: living further away did not cost a place that year.

Application figures: DfE, school level applications and offers (2026 intake).

About Harthill Primary School

Harthill Primary School is a primary school in Sheffield, Rotherham, classified by the DfE as a converter academy. Around 161 pupils aged 5 to 11 attend the school. In the most recent Key Stage 2 SATs, 59% 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 3.0 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.

Pupils achieved an average scaled score of 105 in reading and 104 in maths (national averages are about 105 and 104). 7% reached the higher standard across all three subjects (around 8% do so nationally). Harthill Primary School was not oversubscribed for September 2026: all 24 families who put it first were offered a place. Overall pupil absence was 5.0%. There are about 20.9 pupils per teacher. Its intake is relatively advantaged, with around 12% of pupils eligible for free school meals in the last six years versus about 24% nationally. Harthill 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. This overview is generated automatically from the latest published DfE performance tables and Ofsted data; figures are rounded, and you can check the originals via the official links above.
