About Hayfield Lane Primary School

Hayfield Lane Primary School’s headline Key Stage 2 results sit comfortably above the Doncaster local authority average, with 66% of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined against a LA average of 61%. That five-point gap places the school in the top half of primary schools in the borough, ranked 34th out of 98. Its maths average scaled score of 106 and reading average of 104 both suggest solid foundations, though the proportion hitting the higher standard in all three subjects is a more modest 14%. The school is oversubscribed — 92 applications for 58 places in 2025/26, with 57 first-preference offers — which hints at its reputation among local families. That said, it’s not among the very top performers in Doncaster; the three highest-ranked primaries all score above 80 on the same metric, and the nearest Outstanding-rated school is Grange Lane Infant Academy, 4.4 km away.
