Waverley Primary Academy
Rotherham, S60 8DD · Rotherham · primary school
22nd 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.
Narrow the comparison to the 3,527 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 5.5/10 among them, against 6.8/10 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 | 69.0 · 63 | 40% | 2.51 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 13.0 · 78 | 25% | 1.94 |
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, 69.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. The higher standard was reached by 13.0%. Ofsted rated the school Good in October 2023. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 5.5 out of 10 among them, against 6.8 out of 10 nationally.
Beyond the classroom. Pupils join clubs for dance, reading, gardening, craft, mindfulness, and construction. Sports include cricket, athletics, archery, badminton, basketball, dodgeball, football, and handball. Both breakfast and after-school clubs are available.
Getting in. The school has 533 pupils in a capacity of 583, leaving 50 spare places. It has a little room, but is fairly full.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who do not reach the higher standard? What specific activities are included in the mindfulness club? How does the school manage the transition for children moving from the breakfast club into the main school day?
