Perran-Ar-Worthal Community Primary School
Truro, TR3 7LA · Cornwall · primary school
46th 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 3,174 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 5.2/10 among them, against 6.7/10 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 | 70.0 · 65 | 40% | 2.62 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 11.0 · 71 | 25% | 1.77 |
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%. Only 11.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in September 2022. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 5.2 out of 10 among them, against 6.7 out of 10 nationally.
Beyond the classroom. Pupils join Book Club, Cross Country Club, and Girls' Football After School Club. Sports include football, netball, hockey, basketball, cross country, T1 rugby, and cricket. Trips visit the Maritime Museum, Pizza Express, Cornwall at War museum, and Bodmin Jail. An after-school club operates, but there is no breakfast club.
Getting in. The school has 198 pupils in a building with 180 places, meaning it is over capacity by 18. Consequently, places are competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school manage the 18-pupil overage in daily operations? What specific support is available for pupils who do not reach the expected standard? How does the after-school club integrate with the wider curriculum?
