Rosedale Abbey Community Primary School

Rosedale Abbey Community Primary School is performing well overall, achieving a 'Good' rating across all inspected domains including the quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, and leadership and management. The school’s vision to raise aspirations and develop a strong sense of community is well-implemented, creating a safe and supportive environment for pupils. The curriculum is designed thoughtfully, promoting strong academic achievements and providing enriching experiences that contribute to pupils' personal growth. However, there is a need for clearer identification of essential knowledge across subjects to ensure that pupils do not develop gaps in their understanding.

• Effective phonics programme supporting early reading.
• Positive behaviour culture developed with input from pupils.
• Strong governance and beneficial federation with another school.
• High-quality art and mathematical understanding.
• Wide range of extracurricular and community involvement opportunities.

Areas for Improvement

• Lack of clarity in identifying essential knowledge in some subjects.

Admissions: local authority offers data from the Department for Education. A school is oversubscribed when at least 5% of the families who put it first were not offered a place, and undersubscribed when everyone who put it first got in but 10% or more of its places were unfilled in the Department's school capacity survey (the latest survey is used for entry years it does not cover). Places: Department for Education, School capacity, from local authorities' annual survey as at 1 May. Each year is the one the school year ends in (2025 is 2024–25); the survey was not run in 2020. Places include sixth form places. Forecasts are the local authority's own for the school's planning area, an area it uses to plan places that is not the school's catchment area. The forecast starts from a head count in 2025; the dashed line is the Department's estimate of places in that area, including those the authority has firm plans for. Planned places are cumulative, and only those with firm plans are counted.

Sessions missed

Pupils persistently absent

Source: Department for Education, Pupil absence in schools in England. Each year is the one the school year ends in (2025 is 2024/25). Persistent absence means missing 10% or more of sessions; severe absence means 50% or more. No figures were published for 2019/20.

In 2023–24, 0.0% of pupils at Rosedale Abbey Community Primary School were suspended at least once (nationally 1.0%). No pupils were permanently excluded.

Pupils suspended at least once

Source: Department for Education, Suspensions and permanent exclusions in England. Each year is the one the school year ends in (2025 is 2024/25). A pupil can be suspended more than once, so suspensions per 100 pupils can be higher than the share of pupils suspended. Very small numbers are hidden by the DfE. Exclusion figures dropped in 2020 and 2021 because of school closures.

In 2023–24 Rosedale Abbey Community Primary School had 5.5 pupils for each teacher (the national figure for primary schools was 20.8). Of its teachers in 2023–24, 50.0% were no longer at the school a year later (nationally 17.1%).

Pupils per teacher

Teachers who left the school within a year

Source: Department for Education, School workforce in England. Each year is the one the school year ends in (2025 is 2024/25). Pupils per teacher counts full-time-equivalent pupils and teachers. Turnover is the share of a year's teachers (full-time equivalent) who were not at the school the following year, whether they moved to another school or left state-funded teaching. Turnover and sickness figures run one year behind the ratios. Sick leave is the share of teachers who took at least one day in the year, so it swings widely at small schools, where a few teachers can make it 0% or 100%. The national figures are for all state schools of the same type.
