Check the area around this school
30th 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.
Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still — 8.4/10 against 2,841 of them, against 7.6/10 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 70.0 · 65 | 40% | 2.61 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 20.0 · 92 | 25% | 2.30 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

What Ofsted said about Braddock CofE Primary School
Overview
Braddock CofE Primary School continues to be a good school, where pupils “thoroughly enjoy coming to school” and feel “happy and well cared for.” The inspection confirms that leaders are ambitious for all pupils, delivering a curriculum that nurtures personal development and ensures high standards of behaviour and trust.
Strengths
- Pupils benefit from a carefully sequenced curriculum in many subjects, allowing them to “build on what they already know” and develop a strong understanding of global and local issues.
- A “love of reading pervades the school,” with younger pupils developing fluency through matched texts and older pupils studying literature in depth.
- Relationships between adults and pupils are “warm and encouraging,” resulting in high trust, rare bullying, and effective handling of concerns.
- Staff collaboration within the trust strengthens subject knowledge and positively impacts teacher workload and well-being.
- Governors have an “accurate view of the school’s strengths and areas for further development,” actively evaluating leaders’ impact.
Areas to improve
- In mathematics, teaching does not always provide the most appropriate learning or support, meaning pupils “do not learn as well as they could.”
- A few subject curriculums are not as well developed as others, preventing pupils from building on prior knowledge as effectively as in other subjects.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective, with staff being vigilant, using systems to record concerns, and working well with external agencies to ensure pupils are kept safe.
