7th of 20 secondary schools in Doncaster we can score. 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 — 8.4/10 against 826 of them, against 7.2/10 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 | 52 | 35% | 1.84 |
| Grade 5+ English & maths 2025/26 | 64.7 · 87 | 30% | 2.60 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | 0.08 · 56 | 25% | 1.39 |
| Attainment 8 2025/26 | 49.8 · 69 | 10% | 0.69 |
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 Rossington All Saints Academy
Overview
The report describes Rossington All Saints Academy as a school where the curriculum is “ambitious and well thought through” and most pupils’ experiences are positive. While leadership is generally strong and safeguarding arrangements are effective, the inspection highlights significant issues regarding pupil behaviour and the consistency of curriculum planning across all subjects.
Strengths
- The curriculum is “well sequenced” in established subjects, with teachers addressing misconceptions and scaffolding learning effectively.
- Provision for pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities is “very strong,” with staff providing appropriate challenge and support.
- There is an “exceptional careers programme” that raises aspirations through high-quality employer engagement and project work.
- Staff morale is high, with most feeling valued and that their workload is managed well.
- Leaders are “highly aspirational” for pupils, fostering a culture where form groups are named after countries to inspire students to “think big.”
Areas to improve
- Leaders must ensure all staff consistently address the frequent use of “derogatory and sexualised language,” which has become normalised, in accordance with school policies.
- Curriculum planning in some subjects lacks clarity, with important knowledge not broken down into clear steps; leaders should ensure core knowledge is set out equally well in all subjects.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are “effective,” with leaders being “extremely knowledgeable” and acting on concerns quickly and effectively.
