Pheasant Bank Academy
Doncaster, DN11 0PQ · Doncaster · primary school
22nd 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 — 8.5/10 against 1,514 of them, against 7.1/10 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 | 75.0 · 78 | 40% | 3.11 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 9.0 · 61 | 25% | 1.53 |
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, 75.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 9.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in March 2024. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (8.5 out of 10 against similar schools, 7.1 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils participate in Delta Games and Delta Rugby Union Championships, attend the English Poetry Celebration, and visit locations including Boggle Hole, York, Beamish, London, Creswell Crags, the National Coal Mining Museum, Danum Gallery, and Leeds City Museum. There is no breakfast club or after-school club.
Getting in. The school has 362 pupils in a capacity of 400, leaving 38 spare places. The school has a little room, but is fairly full.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who need help with reading or writing beyond the core curriculum? What provisions exist for children who arrive late or leave early due to the lack of wraparound care? How does the school prepare pupils for the transition to secondary education?
