Check the area around this school
65th 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 the 4,250 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 5.1/10 among them, against 5.9/10 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 | 68.0 · 60 | 40% | 2.40 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 8.0 · 57 | 25% | 1.43 |
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 Constantine Primary School
Overview
Pupils at Constantine Primary School are described as “happy and proud” to attend, demonstrating “thought and care towards others” and a “thirst for learning.” The report highlights a “relentless” approach by the school and trust to strengthen education, resulting in high standards and effective support for pupils with additional needs.
Strengths
- Reading is the “heartbeat of the curriculum,” with a “well-thought-out phonics curriculum” ensuring pupils become “fluent readers” who “love to read.”
- The curriculum is “ambitious,” breaking learning into “sensible, small steps” and identifying “powerful knowledge” that pupils need to remember.
- Pupils develop “highly ambitious words” in each subject and use them “adeptly in their talk,” fostering respect for differing opinions.
- Staff benefit from “high-quality professional development” that is “genuinely useful” in improving teaching and outcomes.
- Leaders are “highly considerate of staff’s workload and well-being,” creating a supportive “school family” culture.
Areas to improve
- In a “small number of subjects,” the curriculum is “not fully developed,” leading to “gaps in their knowledge” which “hinder them from building their understanding over time.”
- A “minority of parents” have “mixed views on the quality of communication between home and school,” negatively impacting engagement; the school must strengthen these partnerships.
Safeguarding
The report states that “the arrangements for safeguarding are effective.”
