Bodmin College
Bodmin, PL31 1DD · Cornwall · secondary school
21st of 31 secondary schools in Cornwall we can score. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.
Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still — 4.7/10 against 839 of them, against 4.0/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.
How this is worked out
| Measure | Percentile | Weight | Adds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Grade 5+ English & maths 2024/25 | 45.4 · 54 | 46% | 2.49 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | -0.44 · 19 | 38% | 0.72 |
| Attainment 8 2024/25 | 46.0 · 51 | 15% | 0.79 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

How it's doing. In 2024/25, 45.4% of pupils achieved Grade 5 or above in English and maths. Attainment 8 was 46.0, compared to the national median of 44.6.

Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (4.7 out of 10 against similar schools, 4.0 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils participate in Ten Tors, take residential trips to Paris, visit the theatre, and conduct fieldwork in Geography.
Getting in. The school has 1438 pupils in a capacity of 1550 places, leaving 112 spare places. The school has a little room, but is fairly full.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who fall behind in English and maths? What specific support is available for students preparing for Ten Tors? How are the residential trips to Paris organised for families?
