Whiston Junior and Infant School
Rotherham, S60 4DX · Rotherham · primary school
12th 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.
Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — 7.1/10 against 4,258 of them, against 7.0/10 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 | 70.0 · 65 | 62% | 4.02 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 13.0 · 78 | 38% | 2.98 |
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, 70.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 13.0% reached the higher standard. Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds, so they are not simply a reflection of who attends (7.1 out of 10 against similar schools, 7.0 out of 10 against all schools).
Getting in. The school has 189 pupils in a capacity of 210 places, leaving 21 spare places. The school has a little room, but is fairly full.
Worth asking on a visit. With 21 places remaining, how quickly do these fill up during the year? Since no wraparound care is mentioned, what options exist for parents who need support before or after school hours? How does the school support pupils aiming for the higher standard, given that only 13.0% currently achieve it?
