Rawmarsh Community School
Rotherham, S62 7GA · Rotherham · secondary school
14th of 15 secondary schools in Rotherham we can score, 16 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 — 4.2/10 against 489 of them, against 2.3/10 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ofsted | 11 | 35% | 0.38 |
| Grade 5+ English & maths 2024/25 | 35.7 · 30 | 30% | 0.89 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | -0.43 · 19 | 25% | 0.48 |
| Attainment 8 2024/25 | 38.8 · 16 | 10% | 0.16 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

How it's doing. In 2024/25, 35.7% of pupils achieved Grade 5 or above in English and maths. Attainment 8 was 38.8, compared to the national median of 44.6. Progress 8 for 2023/24 was -0.43, indicating pupils did worse than those nationally who started from the same place. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (4.2 out of 10 against similar schools, 2.3 out of 10 against all schools). Ofsted rated the school Good in March 2026.
Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join After School Art clubs.
Getting in. The school has 1091 pupils in a capacity of 1075, meaning it is over capacity by 16. 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 during the admissions process? What specific support is available for pupils whose Progress 8 scores fall below the national baseline? How are the After School Art clubs structured for students who finish at different times?
