Adwick Primary School
Doncaster, DN6 7SH · Doncaster · primary school
13th of 88 primary schools in Doncaster we can score, 98 in total — the rest without enough published data. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.
Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still — 8.8/10 against 2,617 of them, against 7.8/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.
How this is worked out
| Measure | Percentile | Weight | Adds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 79.0 · 86 | 40% | 3.43 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 10.0 · 66 | 25% | 1.65 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.
Get to know the school
How it's doing. In 2024/25, 79.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 10.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in May 2024. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (8.8 out of 10 against similar schools, 7.8 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils join clubs for singing, fine motor skills, story making, exploring minibeasts, traditional playground games, puppets and performance, electro-acoustic music, and painting. They visit Yorkshire Wildlife Park. An after-school club is available, but there is no breakfast club.
Getting in. The school has 382 pupils in a building with 459 places, leaving 77 spare spots. This means the school has real spare room, so a place is likely and classes are smaller than it is built for.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who arrive late to the day, given there is no breakfast club? What specific support is available for the 10.0% of pupils aiming for the higher standard? How do teachers manage class sizes to ensure individual attention in these smaller groups?
