Ofsted: Good · 2025 Inspected 1 year ago Mixed Primary Church of England
8.1/10 Well above average

8th 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 — 9.9/10 against 2,609 of them, against 9.7/10 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.

Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 95.0 · 99 40% 3.97

Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 21.0 · 93 25% 2.32

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 Millbrook CofE Primary School

Inspection report dated 6 March 2025

Overview

Millbrook CofE Primary School has taken effective action to maintain the standards identified at its previous inspection. Pupils enjoy attending this friendly school, where they develop confidence in their unique talents and achieve well. The school fosters a positive environment with exemplary behaviour and a strong sense of community.

Strengths

  • Pupils display "exemplary" behaviour, are "extremely courteous," and "look out for each other."
  • The curriculum is "coherently sequenced," ensuring pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities learn the same content as their peers.
  • Early readers learn to read with "fluency and accuracy," supported by staff who quickly address misconceptions.
  • Mathematics teaching encourages pupils to explain their thinking and solve complex problems through consistent practice.
  • The school offers a "wealth of enrichment and extra-curricular activities" that ignites pupil enthusiasm and pride.

Areas to improve

  • The school should ensure work provides opportunities for pupils to "think deeply and critically across the curriculum," as expectations are not always high enough in subjects like reading.
  • The school must strengthen its approach to monitoring and evaluating attendance to raise the attendance of those who are "persistently absent."

Safeguarding

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective.
