Doncaster, DN1 3BF · Doncaster · secondary school
10th of 20 secondary schools in Doncaster we can score. 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 — 4.1/10 against 929 of them, against 4.3/10 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Grade 5+ English & maths 2024/25 | 35.3 · 28 | 30% | 0.86 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | 0.03 · 52 | 25% | 1.31 |
| Attainment 8 2024/25 | 48.6 · 65 | 10% | 0.65 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

How it's doing. In 2024/25, 35.3% of pupils achieved Grade 5 or above in English and maths. Attainment 8 was 48.6, compared to the national median of 44.6. Progress 8 was +0.03 in 2023/24, indicating pupils did slightly better than those nationally who started from the same place. Its position is much the same whether compared with all schools or only those whose pupils have similar backgrounds (4.1 out of 10 against similar schools, 4.3 out of 10 against all schools). Ofsted rated the school Good in November 2022.
Getting in. There are 737 pupils in a school with 750 places, leaving 13 spare places. The school is close to full, so places are likely to be competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils to maintain progress given the recent inspection date? What specific opportunities exist for students to develop skills beyond the core curriculum? How does the school manage the competitive nature of admissions for new intakes?
