About Anston Brook Primary School

Anston Brook Primary School sits within the Rotherham local authority, a mixed state primary for children aged 3 to 11. Among the 96 primary schools in the borough, it ranks 64th on the key stage 2 expected standard measure, placing it in the bottom half of local schools. The top-performing peers in the area are St Alban's CofE (Aided) Primary School, Whiston Worrygoose Junior and Infant School, and Roughwood Primary School, all of which achieved higher ranking scores. The school has a relatively small roll of 145 pupils against a capacity of 210, and just under a quarter of its students (23.8%) are eligible for free school meals. It does not have a religious character and offers nursery provision for younger children. Headteacher Sally Armstrong leads the school, which was rated Good in its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2021, a rating it has held consistently across its two most recent graded inspections.
