About Scawthorpe Sunnyfields Primary School

Scawthorpe Sunnyfields Primary School holds a Good rating from Ofsted, a significant improvement from its previous Requires Improvement judgement in 2015. The school’s most recent graded inspection in 2017 rated both leadership and management and overall effectiveness as Good, while early years provision was judged Outstanding. This upward trajectory continued with an ungraded inspection in 2022, which confirmed the school remains Good. When it comes to academic outcomes, the most telling metric is the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined. At 50%, this is below the Doncaster local authority average of 61%, placing the school 67th out of 87 primary schools in the area. Just 8% of pupils achieved the higher standard in all three subjects, and the school ranks in the bottom half nationally for this measure.
