Map of schools in Sheffield
The map needs JavaScript. The figures below do not.
Schools are coloured by their last Ofsted grade, or by results compared with England schools of the same type in the same year: reading, writing and maths at the end of primary school, and Attainment 8 at GCSE. Special, alternative provision, independent, nursery, 16 to 19 and all-through schools are not compared. Behind them, neighbourhoods are coloured by the education, skills and training measure of the English Indices of Deprivation 2025 (England only). Sources: Department for Education, Ofsted, MHCLG.

How do we know these figures?

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Schools in the area Open schools (excluding children's centres) with a postcode in the area. | Department for Education (Get Information about Schools) via WhatSchool data Licence: Open Government Licence v3.0 (DfE Get Information about Schools and Ofsted data, via WhatSchool) | Oct 2026 | Sheffield (Council area) | aggregated, high quality |
| Pupils on roll Pupils on roll at schools in the area (January 2026 census where reported). Pupils may live elsewhere. | Department for Education (Get Information about Schools) via WhatSchool data Licence: Open Government Licence v3.0 (DfE Get Information about Schools and Ofsted data, via WhatSchool) | 2025/26 | Sheffield (Council area) | aggregated, high quality |
| Graded schools rated Good or Outstanding Share of schools with a 1-4 Ofsted grade that are Outstanding or Good. | Department for Education (Get Information about Schools) via WhatSchool data Licence: Open Government Licence v3.0 (DfE Get Information about Schools and Ofsted data, via WhatSchool) | as at 31 Aug 2026 | Sheffield (Council area) | aggregated, high quality |
| KS2 reading, writing and maths at expected standard Pupil-weighted share of year 6 pupils meeting the expected standard in all of reading, writing and maths (2024/25). | Department for Education (compare school performance) Licence: Open Government Licence v3.0 | 2024/25 | Sheffield (Council area) | aggregated, high quality Pupil-weighted mean of school percentages (eligible pupils). From 123 schools. Schools are counted where they are located, not where pupils live. |
| KS4 Attainment 8 score Cohort-weighted mean of school Attainment 8 scores (2024/25). | Department for Education (compare school performance) Licence: Open Government Licence v3.0 | 2024/25 | Sheffield (Council area) | aggregated, high quality Cohort-weighted mean of school Attainment 8 scores. From 37 schools. Schools are counted where they are located, not where pupils live. |
| Schools opened in the last two years New schools (not academy conversions, relaunches or mergers) with an opening date Oct 2024 - Sep 2026. | Department for Education (GIAS) Licence: Open Government Licence v3.0 | Oct 2024 to Sep 2026 | Sheffield (Council area) | aggregated, medium quality |
Method: Schools in an area
Each open school is located by the postcode of its GIAS record, so it belongs to exactly one postcode district, ward, built-up area, constituency, council and so on. A school is counted where it is, not where its pupils live; pupils often cross boundaries. Children's centres are excluded. Phase and type are the GIAS labels grouped for display.
Method: Pupil-weighted school measures
FSM, SEN and absence percentages are school-level figures averaged with school roll (January 2026 census) as the weight; KS2 and KS4 measures are averaged with the number of eligible pupils (KS2) or the KS4 cohort as the weight. This equals the share of pupils in the area's schools, not of pupils living in the area. The England value uses the same method on the same files and is the comparator. Suppressed school values are skipped, so coverage differs by measure (the number of schools used is in the notes). Ofsted outcomes are the latest overall grade on record at 31 August 2026; schools inspected under the new report-card framework may carry no single grade.
Method: Change events
Events are dated records from public registers: company insolvency notices in The Gazette (loaded from July 2025, so the window is under 24 months), charity registrations and removals (Charity Commission register events), and school opening and closing dates (GIAS), where academy conversions, relaunches and mergers are labelled separately from genuine new schools and closures. They are located at the registered office, registered address or school premises, which is not necessarily where an organisation operates or where affected people live. Each council shows only its most recent events per type (cap per type); wards show all loaded events. The Gazette feed carries insolvency notices only, not planning, licensing or other notices. A notice is an event on the register, not a judgement about the organisation. No individuals' names are stored.

Pupil characteristics describe who attends local schools, not how good the schools are. Absence and special educational needs rates differ for many reasons beyond the school.
