About Springwood Primary Academy

Springwood Primary Academy has strong parent satisfaction, with 95% of respondents in the most recent Parent View survey saying they would recommend the school. That figure, covering responses from September 2024 to September 2025, is backed by very positive individual scores: 95% of parents agreed or strongly agreed that their child is happy at the school, and 95% felt their child does well there. The school is also clearly popular locally. For the 2025/26 intake, it received 47 applications for 29 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1.62. Every one of those 29 places went to a first-preference applicant, which suggests families in Rotherham are keen to get their children in. The school has a nursery provision for children from age two, and the headteacher is Rebecca Malton.
