Rotherham, S65 4BP · Rotherham · secondary school
15th 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 — 1.4/10 against 156 of them, against 0.4/10 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 | 5 | 35% | 0.19 |
| Grade 5+ English & maths 2024/25 | 13.0 · 1 | 30% | 0.02 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | -0.67 · 9 | 25% | 0.23 |
| Attainment 8 2024/25 | 28.8 · 1 | 10% | 0.01 |
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, 13.0% of pupils achieved Grade 5 or above in English and maths. Attainment 8 was 28.8, against a national median of 44.6. Progress 8 was -0.67 in 2023/24, indicating pupils did worse than those nationally who started from the same place. Ofsted rated the school "Requires improvement" in November 2023. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (1.4 out of 10 against similar schools, 0.4 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. The school offers After School Art clubs.
Getting in. There are 544 pupils in a school with 704 places, leaving 160 spare places. 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 to close the gap between their current attainment and the national median? What specific actions are being taken to address the "Requires improvement" rating from the 2023 inspection? How do the smaller class sizes resulting from spare places impact individual teacher attention?
