Check the area around this school
42nd 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.
Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — 4.0/10 against 3,314 of them, against 4.2/10 nationally. So this is not simply a reflection of who attends. 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 | 64.0 · 49 | 40% | 1.97 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 3.0 · 29 | 25% | 0.73 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

What Ofsted said about Brampton Ellis CofE Primary School
Overview
Pupils enjoy attending this welcoming school where staff establish positive relationships and high expectations. The curriculum is broad and well-designed, particularly in mathematics and reading, ensuring pupils are well prepared for their next educational stages. However, inconsistencies in behaviour management currently disrupt learning for some pupils and cause concern among parents.
Strengths
- The mathematics curriculum is "well designed" with a clear sequence, helping pupils retain facts and strategies through regular revisits of prior knowledge.
- Reading is a high priority with a "structured and systematic approach" to phonics; struggling readers receive timely individual or small-group support.
- Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities are "fully included" in lessons, with the curriculum carefully adapted to meet their needs.
- Early years provision is strong, with children developing independence and early mathematical knowledge through "carefully designed" activities.
- The school offers a wide range of extra-curricular activities, including sports clubs and musical instrument lessons, which are noted as a strength.
Areas to improve
- New behaviour systems are not securely embedded; poor behaviour in lessons and social times is not consistently addressed, upsetting some pupils and parents.
- The school should implement new strategies with greater purpose to ensure good standards of behaviour at all times.
- Leaders must reduce instances of derogatory and discriminatory language reported by some pupils during playtimes and outside of school.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective.
