About Rossington All Saints Academy
Rossington All Saints Academy is a mixed, Church of England secondary school for 11 to 16 year olds, located in the Doncaster local authority. It currently ranks 8th out of 20 secondary schools in the area by Progress 8 score, placing it in the top half of Doncaster’s state secondaries. The three highest-performing schools in the same local authority are The Hayfield School, Hall Cross Academy, and Don Valley Academy. With 858 pupils on roll against a capacity of 750, the school is oversubscribed: for the 2025/26 academic year, it received 193 applications for 153 places, with 143 first-preference offers made. A significant proportion of its intake — 29.1% — is eligible for free school meals, which is above the national average and gives context to the school’s inclusive, comprehensive intake.
Academically, Rossington All Saints Academy holds a Good rating from its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2022, a grade it has maintained since its previous inspection in 2013. The inspection report rated the quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, and leadership and management all as Good, though personal development was noted as Requires Improvement. In terms of exam outcomes, the school’s Progress 8 score of 0.08 is above the Doncaster local authority average of -0.04, meaning pupils here make slightly more progress than their peers across the borough. Attainment 8 sits at 48.2, and 71.9% of pupils achieved a grade 4 or above in English and maths. The EBacc average point score is 4.36, with 50.9% of pupils entering the EBacc combination of subjects. Progress in English is notably strong at 0.41, while maths and EBacc progress are slightly negative at -0.08 each.
The school offers a wide range of facilities including a theatre, swimming pool, astro turf, tennis courts, and a chapel, reflecting its Church of England foundation. Sports provision covers rugby, netball, hockey, rowing, and gymnastics among others, while clubs include the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award, debating, coding, and eco club. SEND support is well-developed, with provisions for specific learning difficulties such as dyslexia, moderate learning difficulties, social, emotional and mental health needs, speech and language communication needs, hearing and visual impairments, physical disabilities, and autistic spectrum disorder. There is no sixth form on site, so pupils typically move on elsewhere after Year 11. This school will suit families looking for a Good-rated, oversubscribed secondary in Doncaster with strong English outcomes, a broad extracurricular offer, and a clear commitment to supporting pupils with additional needs.
