Check the area around this school
191st 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 4,206 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 0.1/10 among them, against 0.7/10 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 | 33.0 · 4 | 40% | 0.17 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 0.0 · 10 | 25% | 0.26 |
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 Kehelland Village School
Overview
Kehelland Village School is described as a "friendly and caring" environment where pupils "enjoy attending" and feel safe. The report highlights an "ambitious curriculum" with high expectations for achievement, particularly in reading and mathematics, supported by effective leadership and robust safeguarding arrangements.
Strengths
- A "structured programme" for phonics ensures children learn sounds in an "effective sequence," with books matching pupils' known sounds to support reading development.
- The mathematics curriculum is "designed and sequenced well," helping younger pupils develop a "secure understanding of number facts" and older pupils to tackle complex concepts.
- Staff identify the needs of pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) "accurately" and adapt lessons so they "learn the same curriculum as their peers."
- Pupils develop positive attitudes through leadership roles, such as being "ambassadors for the school values," and attendance has improved due to early interventions.
Areas to improve
- In some wider curriculum subjects, such as music, teachers do not check well enough on what pupils know and remember, leading to gaps in knowledge and slower progress.
Safeguarding
The report states that "the arrangements for safeguarding are effective."
