About Kiveton Park Meadows Junior School

Kiveton Park Meadows Junior School was rated Requires Improvement in its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2024, a drop from its previous Good rating in 2013. The inspection judged every category — quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, and leadership and management — as requiring improvement. The most telling exam metric is the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined: just 51 per cent, compared with the Rotherham local authority average of 60 per cent. That places the school 62nd out of 84 primary schools in the borough, in the bottom half nationally. Only 5 per cent of pupils achieved the higher standard in reading, writing and maths, and while reading and maths average scores sit close to the national benchmark at 104 and 103 respectively, writing is notably weaker, with just 5 per cent reaching the higher standard.
