About St Ann's Primary School

St Ann’s Primary School in Rotherham is a mixed state primary for children aged 3 to 11, currently home to 393 pupils against a capacity of 420. That means the school is running close to full, and the demand is real: for the 2025/26 intake, the school received 36 applications for just 21 places, with 20 of those coming as first preferences. The oversubscription ratio of 1.71 confirms this is a school local families are actively choosing. What stands out is the proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals — 55% — which is well above the national average and signals a catchment with significant socio-economic diversity. The school is non-religious and led by headteacher Sarah Cooper, who took over after the school’s most recent Ofsted inspection in 2023. With nursery provision on site, it also serves families with younger children, adding to its role as a community anchor in Rotherham.
