Check the area around this school
67th 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 4,169 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 4.7/10 among them, against 5.8/10 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 | 62.0 · 44 | 40% | 1.74 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 14.0 · 81 | 25% | 2.03 |
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 Stoke Climsland School
Overview
Stoke Climsland School is described as an "effective and improving school" where pupils learn with "increasing success." The inspection highlights a "safe and welcoming" environment where staff effectively promote core values, resulting in good behaviour and strong attitudes towards learning.
Strengths
- Pupils embody school values such as "empathy, equity, inspiration, integrity, perseverance and gratitude," fostering harmonious relationships and rare bullying.
- The curriculum has been "systematically improved," with subject leaders ensuring planning is "carefully sequenced" to help pupils remember relevant knowledge.
- The reading curriculum has been "revamped and improved," with teachers acting as "reading experts" who share "high-quality texts" to develop pupils' enjoyment and ability.
- Pupils’ writing standards have risen significantly, with work increasingly meeting "age-related expectations" and pupils being "well prepared for the transition to secondary school."
- Staff feel "valued" and work collaboratively, while extra-curricular experiences and trips enrich pupils’ personal development.
Areas to improve
- The implementation of the curriculum needs refinement to ensure "greater consistency," as some teachers’ subject knowledge and expectations vary, affecting pupil progress.
- Staff do not routinely check pupils’ understanding during lessons; the school must ensure staff "regularly check pupils’ understanding" and adapt teaching to fill knowledge gaps.
Safeguarding
The report states that "the arrangements for safeguarding are effective."
