St Alban's CofE (Aided) Primary School

Rotherham, S66 1EU · Rotherham · primary school

Ofsted: Good · 2025 Inspected 1 year ago Mixed Primary Church of England
8.2/10 Well above average

6th 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 — 9.9/10 against 3,795 of them, against 9.9/10 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.

Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 97.0 · 100 40% 3.98

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, 97.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. 30.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in May 2025. Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds, so they are not simply a reflection of who attends (9.9 out of 10 either way).

Beyond the classroom. Pupils take part in local and county sports festivals and competitions. An after-school club is available, but there is no breakfast club.

Getting in. The school has 249 pupils in a building with 210 places, meaning it is over capacity by 39. This means places are competitive.

Worth asking on a visit. How does the school manage the daily routine for 39 pupils over the stated capacity? What specific support is available for pupils who do not reach the higher standard in maths? How does the after-school club operate on days when sports festivals are scheduled?
