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

About Richmond Hill Primary Academy

Richmond Hill Primary Academy is a primary school in Doncaster, classified by the DfE as a converter academy. Around 422 pupils aged 3 to 11 attend the school. 74% 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 risen by 12.0 percentage points year on year. On our composite score, which combines the DfE attainment measures above, this places it in the top 34% of primary schools nationally.

Pupils achieved an average scaled score of 107 in reading and 106 in maths (national averages are about 105 and 104). 7% reached the higher standard across all three subjects (around 8% do so nationally). Getting a place is straightforward: for the September 2026 intake every family who made Richmond Hill Primary Academy their first choice was offered one of its 44 Reception places. Overall pupil absence was 4.7%. There are about 24.8 pupils per teacher. Its intake is relatively advantaged, with around 12% of pupils eligible for free school meals in the last six years versus about 24% nationally. Richmond Hill Primary 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. 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.
