Mixed Primary Church of England
7.9/10 Above average

10th 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 3,754 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 7.2/10 among them, against 7.9/10 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
MeasurePercentileWeightAdds
Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 78.0 · 84 62% 5.17
Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 11.0 · 71 38% 2.72

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, 78.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 11.0% reached the higher standard. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 7.2 out of 10 among them, against 7.9 out of 10 nationally.

Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join the Helford River Children's Sailing Trust. The school also provides both a breakfast club and an after-school club.

Getting in. The school has 144 pupils in a building with 119 places, meaning it is over capacity by 25. Consequently, places are competitive.

Worth asking on a visit. How does the school manage the waitlist given it is currently over capacity? What specific support is available for the 11.0% of pupils who reached the higher standard? How does the sailing club operate during term time?
