Secondary schools in Doncaster

A postcode (M41, or LS1 5AS) starts from the centre of its district; one of 20 places, such as Leeds, from the centre of its schools; a school’s name, such as Townley Grammar, from the school itself. England only. Straight-line distances.

Of the 20 secondary schools in Doncaster, two have a report card, one has key judgements without an overall grade, 13 have an overall grade on the old scale and four have an ungraded inspection. The oldest verdict, at Doncaster UTC, dates from 21 September 2022; the latest, at Sir Thomas Wharton Academy, from 17 March 2026.

State-funded schools in the register of schools: 12 with a sixth form, 0 selective. Schools and colleges only for students aged 16 and over are listed apart: see sixth forms near me. Across all state-funded schools in Doncaster, the average Attainment 8 score was 45.4 in 2025/26 (provisional), against 46.2 in England.

Each mark is one of the schools below, at the date of its latest inspection: report card key judgements only overall grade, old scale ungraded inspection. Behind them, the ruler Ofsted used on that date: pale, an overall grade on the old four-point scale (until 31 August 2024); mid blue, key judgements without an overall grade (from 1 September 2024); deep blue, report cards (from 10 November 2025).
