Sitwell Junior School at a glance

Located in Rotherham, Sitwell Junior School is a primary school, classified by the DfE as a converter academy. The school educates roughly 306 pupils aged 7 to 11. In the most recent Key Stage 2 SATs, 72% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined — above the national average of 61%. That is down 7.0 percentage points in the proportion reaching the expected standard on the previous year. On our composite score, which combines the DfE attainment measures above, this places it in the top 27% of primary schools nationally.

Pupils achieved an average scaled score of 108 in reading and 106 in maths (national averages are about 105 and 104). 11% reached the higher standard across all three subjects (around 8% do so nationally). Overall pupil absence was 5.5%. There are about 22.8 pupils per teacher. Sitwell Junior 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.
