Swinton Fitzwilliam Primary School
About Swinton Fitzwilliam Primary School
Swinton Fitzwilliam Primary School in Rotherham was rated Good in its most recent Ofsted inspection, a significant improvement from its previous Requires Improvement rating. The school’s most telling academic metric is its Key Stage 2 combined reading, writing and maths expected standard score: 49% of pupils reached this benchmark in the 2023/24 academic year. That places the school below the Rotherham local authority average of 60% and ranks it 66th out of 84 primary schools in the area, putting it in the bottom half of the LA table. Nationally, it sits in the 80th percentile, meaning roughly four in five schools across England performed better on this measure. The school’s maths average score was 100, with reading averaging 102, and higher-standard attainment was low across the board — just 7% achieved the higher standard in all three subjects. The Ofsted report noted that early years provision and leadership and management were both Good, and the inspection was an ungraded visit that flagged some aspects as not as strong.
