About Ecclesall Primary School

Ecclesall Primary School is a primary school in Sheffield, classified by the DfE as a converter academy. Around 624 pupils aged 4 to 11 attend the school. The school holds a 'Good' judgement from Ofsted. 71% of its pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths at the end of Key Stage 2, above the national average (national figure: 61%). The proportion reaching the expected standard has fallen by 7.0 percentage points compared with the previous year. On our composite score, which combines the DfE attainment measures above, this places it in the top 26% of primary schools nationally.

Pupils achieved an average scaled score of 108 in reading and 108 in maths (national averages are about 105 and 104). 12% reached the higher standard across all three subjects (around 8% do so nationally). Getting a place is straightforward: for the September 2026 intake every family who made Ecclesall Primary School their first choice was offered one of its 74 Reception places. Its intake is relatively advantaged, with around 5% of pupils eligible for free school meals in the last six years versus about 24% nationally. Given the recent dip in results, it may be worth asking the school what is behind the change and what is being done in response.
