Sheep Dip Lane Academy
Doncaster, DN7 4AU · Doncaster · primary school
20th 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 — 8.3/10 against 796 of them, against 6.5/10 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 | 76.0 · 80 | 62% | 4.91 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 5.0 · 40 | 38% | 1.55 |
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, 76.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 5.0% reached the higher standard. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (8.3 out of 10 against similar schools, 6.5 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join The Flock and Change 4 Life clubs, or take part in swimming. A breakfast club is available, but there is no after-school club.
Getting in. The school has 241 pupils in a building with 309 places, leaving 68 spare spots. This means the school has real spare room, so a place is likely and classes are smaller than it is built for.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who do not reach the higher standard? What are the specific activities within The Flock and Change 4 Life? How does the school manage the transition for pupils leaving at the end of Key Stage 2?
