Otterham Community Primary School
Camelford, PL32 9YW · Cornwall · primary school
102nd 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 4,260 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 3.0/10 among them, against 4.4/10 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 | 70.0 · 65 | 40% | 2.62 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| 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.
Get to know the school
How it's doing. In 2024/25, 70.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. However, 0.0% reached the higher standard. An Ofsted inspection in July 2024 rated the school Good. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 3.0 out of 10 among them, against 4.4 out of 10 nationally.
Beyond the classroom. Pupils join Lego, Gardening, Cookery, Film, and Mathematics clubs, plus School Council. Sports include Gymnastics, Multi Sports, and Athletics, while arts offer Guitar Lessons. Trips go to London and the Isles of Scilly. An after-school club exists, but there is no breakfast club.
Getting in. The school has 63 pupils in a building with 84 places, leaving 21 spare spots. This means the school has real spare room, so a place is likely and classes are smaller than it is built for.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils to reach the higher standard when 0.0% currently do? What specific strategies are used to improve results in the similar-intake comparison group? How does the absence of a breakfast club affect morning readiness for younger children?
