31st of 84 primary schools in Rotherham we can score, 96 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 the 4,250 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 4.7/10 among them, against 5.5/10 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 | 61.0 · 41 | 40% | 1.65 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 13.0 · 78 | 25% | 1.94 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

Strengths
- The curriculum is ‘well sequenced’ and designed around pupils’ needs, featuring engaging outcomes such as an ‘Egyptian market’ and ‘enchanted woodland picnic’.
- Staff possess ‘secure knowledge’ of subjects and use assessment effectively in English and mathematics to plan next steps.

- Early years provision offers ‘rich learning experiences’ where staff use ‘skilful questioning’ to promote curiosity and language development.

Areas to improve
