3.8/10 Broadly average

16th of 20 secondary schools in Doncaster we can score. 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 — 5.1/10 against 551 of them, against 3.1/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.

Getting in. There are 1231 pupils in a school with 1470 places, leaving 239 spare places. The school has real spare room, so a place is likely and classes are smaller than it is built for.
