Check the area around this school
144th of 218 primary schools in Cornwall we can score, 236 in total — the rest without enough published data. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.
Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — 2.8/10 against 2,100 of them, against 2.6/10 nationally. So this is not simply a reflection of who attends. 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 51.0 · 21 | 40% | 0.83 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 4.0 · 35 | 25% | 0.88 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.
Bodriggy Academy overview
How it's doing
In 2024/25, 51.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. The higher standard was reached by 4.0% of pupils, against a national median of 7%. Its results are much the same when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds, so the gap is not explained by intake (2.8 out of 10 against similar schools, 2.6 out of 10 against all schools). Ofsted rated the school Good in November 2023.
Beyond the classroom
Pupils can join the Medieval Club, Gymnastics Club, Multi-Skills, Games Club, and Forest School. Sports include badminton, surfing, street-surfing, basketball, football, and dance. The Bodriggy Singers provide musical opportunities, and an after-school club is available.
Getting in

What Ofsted said about Bodriggy Academy
Overview
Bodriggy Academy is described as an "inclusive, welcoming school" where "building strong relationships is at the heart of its work." Pupils feel safe, behave well, and are proud to attend, benefiting from high expectations and a curriculum that has improved significantly since the previous inspection.
Strengths
- The school has an "ambitious curriculum" with effective teaching in reading and mathematics, ensuring pupils build "secure knowledge" and progress well.
- Staff provide precise support for pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities, enabling them to "learn the same curriculum as their peers."
- Pupils enjoy a wide range of extra-curricular activities and demonstrate "positive attitudes to learning," with attendance tracked closely to ensure regular attendance.
- Leaders and governors provide effective support and challenge, fostering a culture where staff views are "listened to and acted on."
Areas to improve
- Assessment systems in some wider curriculum subjects are still being developed; teachers must use assessment effectively to check that pupils have "securely remembered the knowledge they have been taught."
- Pupils’ knowledge of "fundamental British values" is limited, meaning they are "not fully prepared for life in modern Britain"; the trust must identify specific opportunities to embed this knowledge.
Safeguarding
The report states that "the arrangements for safeguarding are effective."
