Richmond Hill Primary Academy
About Richmond Hill Primary Academy
Richmond Hill Primary Academy is a state-funded, mixed primary school in Doncaster, serving children aged 3 to 11. Within the local authority, it sits in the middle of the pack, ranking 48th out of 87 primary schools on the key stage 2 expected standard measure. That places it just ahead of the bottom half of schools in the area. For context, the top-performing local peers include Crookesbroom Primary Academy, St Oswald's CofE Academy, and Arksey Primary School, all of which score higher on the same metric. The school is not among Doncaster's four Outstanding-rated primaries; the nearest such school is Bentley High Street Primary School, about 2.9 km away. Still, Richmond Hill holds a solid Good rating from its most recent graded inspection in 2012, and an ungraded visit in 2022 confirmed it remains Good. Leadership and management were judged Outstanding in that 2012 inspection, which gives some reassurance about the school's direction.
