Check the area around this school
87th 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.
Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — 0.7/10 against 2,071 of them, against 0.9/10 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 | 40.0 · 8 | 62% | 0.50 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 0.0 · 10 | 38% | 0.40 |
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 Conisbrough Ivanhoe Primary Academy
Overview
The inspection found that the quality of education, behaviour, personal development, and leadership all ‘require improvement’. However, early years provision is rated ‘Good’, with children responding well to high expectations and developing communication skills rapidly. The report highlights inconsistencies in curriculum delivery and behaviour management that limit pupil achievement and engagement across the wider school.
Strengths
- Early years provision is ‘carefully designed and well-delivered’, preparing children well for key stage 1.
- Teachers are ‘knowledgeable and enthusiastic’, and in some subjects, pupils are ‘fully engaged’ and develop knowledge rapidly.
- Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities are ‘supported well’, with needs quickly identified and matched to appropriate interventions.
- The school is ‘welcoming to a diverse range of pupil needs’, and most pupils feel safe with strong relationships with adults.
- Staff are ‘very positive about the school and their workload’, valuing the support provided by leaders.
Areas to improve
- The school must ensure improvements to the quality of education are reflected in pupil outcomes at key stage 2, as current implementation is variable.
- Expectations of behaviour must be ‘consistently high and enacted across the school’ to prevent disruption and disengagement.
- Leaders need to embed systems for monitoring provision to accurately identify areas requiring further improvement.
Safeguarding
The report states that ‘the arrangements for safeguarding are effective’.
