About Kimberworth Community Primary School

Kimberworth Community Primary School sits within the Rotherham local authority, where it ranks 24th out of 84 primary schools, placing it in the top third locally. 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 score higher on the same ranking metric. Kimberworth is a state-funded, mixed primary school for children aged 2 to 11, with a nursery provision on site. It has no religious character and is led by headteacher Alison Stothard. The school is significantly oversubscribed: for the 2025/26 intake, it received 59 applications for just 30 places, with 31 of those applications coming from first-preference families. That level of demand suggests strong local reputation, particularly given that only six of the 96 primary schools in Rotherham currently hold an Outstanding Ofsted rating.
