These are all the MATs to operate a school or nursery in Sheffield and how good all those schools are rated by the education watchdog Ofsted.
Mercia Learning Trust is currently the best performing in the city with the highest proportion of ‘Outstanding’ schools out of this list.
Many trusts have come out strong with all of their schools rated ‘Good’ or ‘Outstanding’, such as Steel City Schools Partnership and Sheffield South East Trust.
Others have taken a stumble, such as Learner Engagement and Achievement Partnership MAP, both of whose Sheffield schools are currently rated ‘Inadequate’ and ‘Requires Improvement’.
