Carr Lodge Academy

School overview

Carr Lodge Academy is a primary school serving Doncaster, classified by the DfE as a sponsor-led academy. It has 454 pupils aged 3 to 11 on roll. 67% of its pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths at the end of Key Stage 2, above the national average (national figure: 61%). The proportion reaching the expected standard has fallen by 3.0 percentage points compared with the previous year. On our composite score, which combines the DfE attainment measures above, this places it in the top 42% of primary schools nationally.

Pupils achieved an average scaled score of 106 in reading and 107 in maths (national averages are about 105 and 104). 8% reached the higher standard across all three subjects (around 8% do so nationally). Carr Lodge Academy is oversubscribed: about 9 in 10 of the families who made it their first choice were offered a Reception place for September 2026, with 61 first choices for 57 places. Overall pupil absence was 5.1%. There are about 24.8 pupils per teacher. Carr Lodge Academy 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.
