About schools in Rotherham

Rotherham lists 101 schools, most of them primary schools. Its 13 secondary schools are where families compare options once a child finishes primary. Older students can carry on at two sixth forms and colleges.

Ofsted inspects every school listed here. Its newer reports judge a school across several areas rather than giving one overall grade, while older reports still carry the previous single grade, so read the framework and the date on each page before you set two schools side by side. Where results have been published you will also find key stage 2 scores for the primary schools and Attainment 8 for the secondary schools. An inspection or a results table captures a school at one past moment, so use this page to draw up a shortlist and then visit.
