Check the area around this school
58th 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.
Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — 2.9/10 against 2,851 of them, against 3.1/10 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 | 54.0 · 26 | 40% | 1.03 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 5.0 · 40 | 25% | 1.00 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.
Tranmoor Primary overview
How it's doing
In 2024/25, 54.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. The higher standard was reached by 5.0% of pupils, against a national median of 7%. Ofsted rated the school Good in February 2024. Its results are much the same when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds, so the gap is not explained by intake (2.9 out of 10 against similar schools, 3.1 out of 10 against all schools).

What Ofsted said about Tranmoor Primary
Overview
Tranmoor Primary is described as a place where pupils enjoy learning and arrive with a smile, supported by adults who care for them well. The report highlights a broad and ambitious curriculum, with particular praise for the early years provision, which provides an exceptional start to school. Overall, the school is judged to be good, with significant improvements made since the previous inspection.
Strengths
- Early years provision is outstanding, offering an "exceptional start to school" with meticulous organisation and expert teaching.
- Reading and vocabulary development are central to the curriculum, with staff using a "well-structured approach to teaching phonics" that helps children learn sounds quickly.
- Pupils demonstrate positive behaviour, showing "cooperation, friendship, tolerance and respect," while bullying is noted as "very rare."
- Most pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) have precise support plans that help staff understand individual learning targets.
- Personal development is effectively woven through the school, with pupils learning about democracy and accessing a wide range of after-school activities.
Areas to improve
- In a few subjects, activities are sometimes too ambitious, leaving pupils "overloaded with information" and unable to consistently apply prior knowledge to new learning.
- Some support plans for pupils with SEND lack necessary detail, meaning individual learning needs are not consistently well met.
- Some pupils have an insecure understanding of other faiths and cultures, limiting their knowledge of the wider world.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective.
