Check the area around this school
54th 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 — 4.0/10 against 336 of them, against 2.5/10 nationally. 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 | 58.0 · 35 | 40% | 1.39 |
| 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.

What Ofsted said about High Greave Junior School
Overview
High Greave Junior School has taken effective action to maintain the standards identified at the previous inspection. Pupils learn in a calm and supportive environment where they feel safe, enjoy attending school, and achieve well. The school fosters a strong sense of community and pride among its pupils.
Strengths
- The school maintains high expectations, with core values of ‘Listening, Empathy, Attitude, Respect, Neat, Effort and Ready’ creating an atmosphere that supports good learning.
- Staff have created a safe environment where bullying is rare, and pupils know they have support if they are worried or upset.
- Attendance has seen significant improvements due to robust systems for identifying absences and working with the community to emphasise its importance.
- The wider curriculum is carefully planned, with pupils enjoying subjects like science and art and remembering experiences such as performing in music.
- Staff feel part of a family, with their well-being central to decision-making, and trust leaders ensure all aspects of performance are reported effectively.
Areas to improve
- In some subjects, the school does not equip pupils with the vocabulary needed to learn more deeply, resulting in too few pupils working at higher standards.
- In some wider curriculum subjects, pupils do not have enough opportunities to build on previously taught knowledge, causing them to struggle to recall important information.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective.
