Hungerhill School
Doncaster, DN3 2JY · Doncaster · secondary school
3rd 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 — 7.4/10 against 916 of them, against 7.1/10 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Grade 5+ English & maths 2024/25 | 50.2 · 65 | 46% | 3.01 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | 0.41 · 80 | 38% | 3.06 |
| Attainment 8 2024/25 | 49.2 · 67 | 15% | 1.04 |
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, 50.2% of pupils achieved Grade 5 or above in English and maths. Attainment 8 was 49.2, compared to the national median of 44.6. Progress 8 stood at +0.41 in 2023/24, indicating pupils did better than those nationally who started from the same place. Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds, so they are not simply a reflection of who attends (7.4 out of 10 against similar schools, 7.1 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils play football, rugby, and hockey, and attend theatre visits. Trips include a ski trip, a visit to France, Conisbrough Castle, the Gaming Museum, university visits, and field visits to the Eat Coast and Sheffield.
Getting in. The school has 1173 pupils in a capacity of 1120, meaning it is over capacity by 53. The school is over its stated capacity, so places are competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school manage the pressure of being over capacity by 53 places? What specific support is available for pupils who need to improve their Progress 8 scores? How are the various trips, such as the ski trip, funded or organised?
