64th 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 — 2.7/10 against 2,601 of them, against 2.7/10 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 | 59.0 · 37 | 40% | 1.47 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 0.0 · 10 | 25% | 0.26 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.
Edenthorpe Hall Primary Academy overview
How it's doing
In 2024/25, 59.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. The proportion reaching the higher standard was 0.0%, against a national median of 7%. Its results are much the same when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds, so the gap is not explained by intake (2.7 out of 10 either way). Ofsted rated the school Good in July 2025.
Beyond the classroom
The school provides both a breakfast club and an after-school club for wraparound care.

What Ofsted said about Edenthorpe Hall Primary Academy
Overview
Edenthorpe Hall Primary Academy has taken effective action to maintain the standards identified at its previous inspection. Leaders have high ambitions for pupils, aiming to prepare them academically and personally for the next stage of their education, which is met for most students. The school fosters a calm, orderly environment where pupils feel safe, well cared for, and enjoy attending.
Strengths
- Phonics teaching is prioritised with precise coaching, ensuring pupils become confident readers through regular practice and targeted support.
- Curriculum content is carefully mapped so learning builds logically, with staff using consistent teaching approaches to check understanding and build pupil confidence.
- Teachers and teaching assistants work as ‘genuine partners’, debriefing daily to refine teaching and ensure pupils can talk and write confidently about prior learning.
- Behaviour is calm and orderly, with bullying being rare and dealt with effectively; pupils show respect for each other, adults, and their surroundings.
- Systems for supporting pupils who have had difficult previous educations are highly effective, resulting in regular attendance and effective learning.
Areas to improve
- In mathematics, some pupils are given work beyond their current ability because they lack a secure grasp of earlier skills, preventing success with new learning.
- The school should ensure pupils consistently benefit from work that builds on existing knowledge, particularly in mathematics, to avoid struggles with understanding.
- Leaders aim to broaden communication with parents of pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) to address concerns about provision.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective, with weekly meetings identifying situations where pupils or families may need support and securing necessary assistance.
