About Aughton Primary Academy
Aughton Primary Academy holds a Good rating from Ofsted, a grade it has maintained across its most recent inspections. The most telling academic metric for this 144-pupil primary school in Rotherham is its Key Stage 2 combined reading, writing and maths expected standard score. In the 2023/24 academic year, 61% of pupils reached the expected standard in all three subjects, which sits just one percentage point above the local authority average of 60%. This places the school 40th out of 84 primary schools in Rotherham, putting it in the bottom half of the local league table. While the school does not have any pupils reaching the higher standard in all three subjects, individual subject results show 79% of pupils met the expected standard in maths, 68% in writing and 64% in reading. Average scaled scores of 103 in both reading and maths are solidly in line with national expectations.
