Red dashed line = one first choice per place. How to read this

Every child who put Wadworth Primary School first was offered a place in 2026, so no distance cut-off applied: living further away did not cost a place that year.

Application figures: DfE, school level applications and offers (2026 intake).

About Wadworth Primary School

Wadworth Primary School is a primary school in Doncaster, classified by the DfE as a community school. Around 141 pupils aged 4 to 11 attend the school. 59% of its pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths at the end of Key Stage 2, broadly in line with the national average (national figure: 61%). The proportion reaching the expected standard has risen by 17.0 percentage points year on year, though small year groups can make these figures swing sharply from year to year. On our composite score, which combines the DfE attainment measures above, this places it in the lower half of primary schools nationally.

Pupils achieved an average scaled score of 104 in reading and 104 in maths (national averages are about 105 and 104). Getting a place is straightforward: for the September 2026 intake every family who made Wadworth Primary School their first choice was offered one of its 15 Reception places. Overall pupil absence was 5.8%. There are about 21.0 pupils per teacher. Wadworth Primary School does not currently have a recent graded Ofsted judgement on record (often the case for newer or recently converted schools), so it is worth asking when its next inspection is expected. This overview is generated automatically from the latest published DfE performance tables and Ofsted data; figures are rounded, and you can check the originals via the official links above.
