About Rossington St Michael's CofE Primary School

Rossington St Michael's CofE Primary School is a state primary in Doncaster, ranking 10th out of 87 primary schools in the local authority — comfortably inside the top 25% nationally. Among its closest-performing peers in the area are Crookesbroom Primary Academy, St Oswald's CofE Academy, and Arksey Primary School, all of which sit higher on the local rankings table. The school sits within a local authority where only four primaries hold an Outstanding rating; the nearest one, Grange Lane Infant Academy, is 1.7 km away. Rossington St Michael's itself is rated Good overall by Ofsted following its September 2021 inspection, a notable improvement from its previous Inadequate rating in 2016. The inspection report awarded Good across all five graded categories — quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision — suggesting a school that has turned around significantly under headteacher Jenny Birks.
