About Our Lady of Perpetual Help Catholic Primary School

Our Lady of Perpetual Help Catholic Primary School is a state primary in Doncaster, ranking 55th out of 87 primary schools in the local authority. That places it in the bottom half of Doncaster’s primary league table, below the top three local peers: Crookesbroom Primary Academy, St Oswald's CofE Academy and Arksey Primary School. The school is Roman Catholic, mixed-gender and takes pupils from age 3 to 11, with a nursery on site. Its most recent graded Ofsted inspection, carried out in 2016, rated it Good overall, with Good marks for leadership and management and early years provision. An ungraded inspection in 2021 confirmed the school remains Good. That represents a clear improvement from its previous graded inspection in 2014, when it was judged to require improvement across the board.
