Nanstallon Community Primary School
Bodmin, PL30 5JZ · Cornwall · primary school
134th 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 3,718 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 3.6/10 among them, against 5.4/10 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 | 60.0 · 39 | 40% | 1.56 |
| Ofsted | 5 | 35% | 0.18 |
| 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, 60.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. The higher standard was reached by 13.0%. Ofsted rated the school Good in January 2026. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 3.6 out of 10 among them, against 5.4 out of 10 nationally.
Beyond the classroom. Pupils join Fun and Games, Chess, and Lego league clubs, and play football, basketball, netball, rugby, rounders, playground games, athletics, and biking. Both a breakfast club and an after-school club are available.
Getting in. The school has 111 pupils in a capacity of 119 places, leaving 8 spare spots. This means the school has a little room, but is fairly full.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who are below the national median in core subjects? What specific activities take place during the breakfast and after-school clubs? How does the school manage the small number of available places for new admissions?
