About St Gerard's Catholic Primary School

St Gerard's Catholic Primary School is a primary school in Rotherham, classified by the DfE as a converter academy with a Roman Catholic religious character. Around 146 pupils aged 4 to 11 attend the school. 79% of its pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths at the end of Key Stage 2, well above the national average (national figure: 61%). The proportion reaching the expected standard has risen by 3.0 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 among the top 4% of primary schools in England.

Pupils achieved an average scaled score of 104 in reading and 105 in maths (national averages are about 105 and 104). 26% reached the higher standard across all three subjects (around 8% do so nationally). St Gerard's Catholic Primary School is oversubscribed: about 10 in 10 of the families who made it their first choice were offered a Reception place for September 2026, with 31 first choices for 30 places. Overall pupil absence was 4.5%. There are about 22.1 pupils per teacher. St Gerard's Catholic 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.
