Check the area around this school
69th 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 the 4,224 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 2.7/10 among them, against 3.8/10 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 | 47.0 · 15 | 40% | 0.60 |
| Ofsted | 3 | 35% | 0.10 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 12.0 · 74 | 25% | 1.85 |
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 Laughton All Saints' CofE Primary School
Overview
The report describes Laughton All Saints’ CofE Primary School as a "kind and inclusive" environment where pupils feel safe and staff build secure relationships. However, the school’s "aspirations are not being met" due to inconsistencies in curriculum delivery and low expectations, resulting in variable teaching quality and pupils not being fully prepared for their next stage of learning.
Strengths
- Pupils are "happy" and "confidently introduce themselves," benefiting from staff who "know pupils well."
- Leaders promote "wider development well," with pupils learning about health, online safety, and responsible citizenship through activities like "community cafes."
- Staff well-being is supported effectively, with leaders considering workload and trustees offering help where needed.
- Pupils enjoy reading and accessing "high-quality texts" in the school library, collecting rewards for their efforts.
Areas to improve
- The school must monitor curriculum implementation to ensure consistent, high-quality education, as current variability means some pupils do not achieve as well as they could.
- Staff require training and support to use assessment systems effectively, ensuring learning "sequentially builds on what pupils know and can do."
- Leaders must establish clear routines and apply "high expectations for behaviour" so that all pupils, particularly in the early years, are ready to learn.
Safeguarding
The report states that "the arrangements for safeguarding are effective."
