About Maltby Academy

Maltby Academy, a mixed secondary school in Rotherham for pupils aged 11 to 19, was rated Good in its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2022, a rating it has held consistently across both its graded inspections. The most telling academic metric for the school is its Progress 8 score of -0.13, which places it in the 'Average' banding nationally. This means that, on average, pupils achieve slightly below the expected level of progress across eight key subjects when compared with their peers nationally. However, it is worth noting that this score is marginally better than the Rotherham local authority average of -0.15, and the school ranks 8th out of 16 similar schools in the area. The picture is nuanced, though; while progress in English (-0.07) and open subjects (0.1) is close to or above average, progress in maths (-0.51) is a notable area of weakness.
