Hill Top Academy
Doncaster, DN12 1PL · Doncaster · primary school
1st 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.
Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still — 9.6/10 against 2,345 of them, against 8.8/10 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 | 78.0 · 84 | 40% | 3.36 |
| Ofsted | 96 | 35% | 3.37 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 24.0 · 95 | 25% | 2.38 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.
Get to know the school
How it's doing. In 2024/25, 78.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. 24.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Outstanding in March 2024. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (9.6 out of 10 against similar schools, 8.8 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils join the Hill Top Academy Choir, perform in the Year 6 Production, and compete in the Road to Wimbledon Tennis Tournament. Trips include the National Space Centre and Yorkshire Wildlife Park. The school has neither a breakfast club nor an after-school club.
Getting in. There are 372 pupils in a school with 397 places, leaving 25 spare places. The school has a little room, but is fairly full.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who arrive late or leave early, given the lack of wraparound care? What specific support is available for the 24.0% who did not reach the higher standard? How does the school manage the transition for Year 6 pupils after their production?
