5th 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 the 2,795 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 8.3/10 among them, against 8.9/10 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 | 80.0 · 88 | 40% | 3.51 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 20.0 · 92 | 25% | 2.30 |
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 Hooton Pagnell All Saints Church of England Primary School
Overview
The report describes a school where pupils are “happy and enthusiastic about coming to school” and feel safe within a welcoming environment. Leaders have established a “sequenced curriculum” that actively inspires learning, supported by staff who are “tenacious in making sure pupils’ attendance is improving.” The inspection highlights strong provision in early years, reading, and mathematics, alongside effective safeguarding arrangements.
Strengths
- Early reading is delivered with consistency, with books matching sounds pupils are learning and quick support for those falling behind.
- Mathematics features a “well-sequenced curriculum” where teachers break down calculation steps, helping pupils become fluent and eager to solve problems.
- The early years environment is “extensive” and “well-considered,” with adults using rich vocabulary to extend children’s language through imaginative play.
- Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities are “well supported” through careful adaptations of resources and routines.
- Personal development is fostered through a curriculum that encourages reflection on values like “peace, joy, love and hope” and teaches the importance of democracy.
Areas to improve
- In some subjects, teachers do not accurately identify gaps in knowledge or misconceptions, meaning pupils’ achievement is not as strong as it could be.
- Pupils do not recall learning from religious education lessons as well as they do in other subjects.
- Leaders need to support teachers to purposefully check what pupils know across the wider curriculum to address these inconsistencies.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective, with rigorous processes in place for pupils at risk and regular training ensuring adults understand how to keep pupils safe online and around water.
