About Dunsville Primary School

Dunsville Primary School was rated Good in its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2022, a significant improvement from its previous Requires Improvement rating in 2019. The school earned Good marks across every category inspected, including quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, and leadership and management. On the key academic measure for primary schools, 72% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined in the 2023/24 Key Stage 2 assessments. That figure sits comfortably above the Doncaster local authority average of 61%, placing Dunsville 16th out of 87 primary schools in the area. The school also performed well on the higher standard, with 28% of pupils achieving a high score in maths and 33% in reading, though writing at the higher level was much lower at just 3%. Average scaled scores of 105 in maths and 106 in reading suggest solid, consistent attainment across the core subjects.
