St Erth Community Primary School
Hayle, TR27 6HN · Cornwall · primary school
70th 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 — 6.2/10 against 3,380 of them, against 5.8/10 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.
How this is worked out
| Measure | Percentile | Weight | Adds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 63.0 · 46 | 40% | 1.86 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| 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, 63.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared with the national median of 64%. Only 13.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in September 2024. Its position is much the same whether compared with all schools or only those whose pupils have similar backgrounds (6.2 out of 10 against similar schools, 5.8 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils join Eco Club and art and crafts clubs, perform in productions like *Alice in Wonderland* and *Aladdin*, and visit sites including St Michael's Mount, Geevor Tin Mine, and Bristol. An after-school club is available, but there is no breakfast club.
Getting in. The school has 101 pupils in a capacity of 105 places, leaving 4 spare spots. With so few vacancies, places are likely to be competitive for new applicants.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who miss the morning start, given there is no breakfast club? What specific steps are taken to help the 13.0% of pupils who reach the higher standard? How does the school manage the competitive nature of its 4 remaining places?
