Mexborough St John the Baptist CofE Primary School
About Mexborough St John the Baptist CofE Primary School
Mexborough St John the Baptist CofE Primary School sits in the top quarter of primary schools in Doncaster, and its headline Key Stage 2 results comfortably outpace the local authority average. In the 2023/24 academic year, 69% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with a Doncaster average of 61%. That puts the school 22nd out of 87 primaries in the LA, and 25th out of 98 when including all schools of the same type. The gap is even more pronounced at the higher standard: 7% of pupils achieved greater depth across all three subjects, while the LA average for that metric is not provided but the school's own figures show 24% hitting the higher standard in reading and writing individually, and 10% in maths. Reading and writing both saw 76% of pupils meet expectations, with maths slightly ahead at 79%. Average scaled scores of 105 in reading and 103 in maths reinforce a picture of solid, above-average performance for a Doncaster primary.
