Check the area around this school
60th 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.
Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — 1.6/10 against 1,932 of them, against 1.8/10 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 52.0 · 22 | 40% | 0.88 |
| 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 Maltby Manor Academy
Overview
Maltby Manor Academy continues to be a good school, described as a "nurturing and vibrant" environment where pupils feel safe and valued. Leaders maintain high expectations, ensuring that all pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities, achieve well through a rich curriculum and strong community engagement.
Strengths
- Pupils are enthusiastic about reading, supported by a well-implemented phonics programme and regular assessments that identify gaps in knowledge.
- Staff effectively adapt resources and the curriculum so that pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities learn well alongside their peers.

- Leaders foster a strong culture of inclusion, with pupils actively contributing to the local community through charity work and leadership roles.
- Staff feel well supported, and governors work effectively with leaders to monitor progress and ensure necessary improvements are made.
Areas to improve
- Leaders should ensure that the curriculum is taught consistently well across the school, as current inconsistencies mean some activities do not build on prior learning securely, potentially creating gaps in pupils’ learning.

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective, with leaders ensuring a strong culture of vigilance, thorough recruitment checks, and tenacious support for vulnerable children.
