83rd 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 the 4,254 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 2.0/10 among them, against 3.2/10 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 | 56.0 · 30 | 40% | 1.18 |
| Ofsted | 10 | 35% | 0.34 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 4.0 · 35 | 25% | 0.88 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

What Ofsted said about Travis St Lawrence Church of England Primary School
Overview
Travis St Lawrence Church of England Primary School provides an education that meets the "expected standard" across all inspection categories. The report highlights that pupils "enjoy coming to school" and feel a "keen sense of belonging," supported by leaders who have refined the curriculum to reflect the local context. While published outcomes in some subjects are lower than national averages, the inspection notes this "does not fully reflect pupils’ progress through the curriculum from their starting points."
Strengths
- Pupils "typically achieve well across the curriculum," with secure knowledge in subjects such as geography and science.
- Staff provide effective support for pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities, ensuring they "achieve well from their starting points."
- The school fosters a "calm and orderly" environment where pupils behave well and demonstrate "positive attitudes to their learning."
- Leaders have established an "open culture" of safeguarding where concerns are "actively identified, acted upon and managed."
- The early years provision is "clear and purposeful," helping children develop a "love of stories" and essential foundational skills.
Areas to improve
- Leaders should ensure staff "consistently enact high expectations," particularly regarding the implementation of the behaviour policy.
- Staff must address pupils' misconceptions more effectively, as occasional imprecise explanations mean "some misconceptions in pupils' knowledge remain."
- Leaders should ensure pupils' work maintains an "equally high standard of presentation across the curriculum," noting that pride in English and mathematics books is not always reflected in other subjects.
Safeguarding
The safeguarding standards are met, with leaders establishing an open culture where safeguarding is "everyone's responsibility" and pupils are "made safer and feel safe."
