Hawthorn Primary School

About Hawthorn Primary School

Hawthorn Primary School in Doncaster has turned a corner. In its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2024, the school was rated Good overall, a clear improvement from its previous Requires Improvement rating in 2018. Every category inspected — quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision — was judged Good. That’s a solid, across-the-board upgrade. On the academic front, the most telling metric is the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined: 56 per cent. That’s slightly below the Doncaster local authority average of 61 per cent, and it places the school 57th out of 87 primary schools in the borough. Nationally, it sits in the bottom half of schools on this measure. Still, individual subject scores are more encouraging: 67 per cent hit the expected standard in both maths and writing, and average scaled scores in reading (102) and maths (101) are close to the national benchmark of 100.
