About Herringthorpe Junior School

Herringthorpe Junior School is a primary school in Rotherham, classified by the DfE as a converter academy. Around 352 pupils aged 7 to 11 attend the school. In the most recent Key Stage 2 SATs, 85% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined — well above the national average of 61%. That marks an improvement of 5.0 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 among the top 7% of primary schools in England.

Pupils achieved an average scaled score of 110 in reading and 109 in maths (national averages are about 105 and 104). 18% reached the higher standard across all three subjects (around 8% do so nationally). Overall pupil absence was 5.7%. There are about 23.8 pupils per teacher. Herringthorpe 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.
