For primary schools number crunchers worked to the numbers of children meeting expected standards at the end of their key stage two studies.

The performance of Rotherham’s secondary schools and colleges was eclipsed nationally, however, by better performers.

The data was put together by a company called Ratcliffe Cleaning, which assessed school performance nationally, using Government data.
