St Gerard's Catholic Primary School
Rotherham, S65 4AE · Rotherham · primary school
4th 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 — 9.3/10 against 4,198 of them, against 9.0/10 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.
How this is worked out
| Measure | Percentile | Weight | Adds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 79.0 · 86 | 62% | 5.28 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 26.0 · 96 | 38% | 3.71 |
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, 79.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. The higher standard was reached by 26.0%. 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 (9.3 out of 10 against similar schools, 9.0 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils attend residential trips to Whitby and Lockerbrook. The school provides both a breakfast club and an after-school club.
Getting in. There are 146 pupils in a school with 140 places, meaning it is over capacity by 6. The school is over its stated capacity, so places are competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school manage the waitlist given it is currently over capacity? What specific support is available during the breakfast and after-school clubs? How do you track progress for pupils aiming for the higher standard?
