Ofsted: Requires improvement · 2024 Inspected 2 years ago Mixed Primary
0.9/10 Well below average

78th 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 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still — 1.9/10 against 454 of them, against 1.3/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.

Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who are not reaching the expected standard in maths? What specific improvements have been made since the 2024 inspection? How does the curriculum balance academic targets with the wide range of extracurricular activities?
