Coads Green Primary School
Launceston, PL15 7LY · Cornwall · primary school
108th 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 — 4.4/10 against 2,881 of them, against 4.2/10 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 | 50.0 · 19 | 40% | 0.76 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 13.0 · 78 | 25% | 1.94 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.
Get to know the school
How it's doing. In 2024/25, 50.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 13.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in December 2022. Its position is much the same whether compared with all schools or only those whose pupils have similar backgrounds (4.4 out of 10 against similar schools, 4.2 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils join the Wild Tribe club and play tennis, rounders, and cross country. Trips include a Key Stage 2 residential at Dartmoor Activity Centre, a visit to Spaceport Cornwall, a Music Hub Day at the Royal Cornwall Showground, the Farm and Country Show, and a beach day at Widemouth Bay. The school has neither a breakfast club nor an after-school club.
Getting in. With 44 pupils in a school with 77 places, there are 33 spare places. The school has real spare room, so a place is likely and classes are smaller than it is built for.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who need extra help with reading, given the gap between the school’s results and the national median? What provision exists for children arriving without a breakfast club? How does the small class size affect the range of activities offered?
