159th 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 4,263 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 2.1/10 among them, against 3.2/10 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 | 55.0 · 27 | 62% | 1.69 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 5.0 · 40 | 38% | 1.54 |
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 Threemilestone School
Overview
Threemilestone School is described as a “warm and welcoming” institution where “inclusion is central to the school’s vision.” The report highlights that pupils learn in a “calm and orderly setting” and enjoy coming to school, evidenced by their “high attendance.” The school’s curriculum is ambitious, with a “relentless drive to develop” it, ensuring pupils build knowledge securely over time.
Strengths
- The curriculum is well-sequenced, using “launchpads” to exemplify smaller steps of knowledge, helping teachers clarify what to teach and when.
- Personal development is exceptional, with pupils gaining a “lived experience of democracy” through leadership roles and learning about diverse faiths and cultures.
- Reading is a high priority, supported by a “carefully considered ‘reading spine’” and rigorous phonics teaching that promotes a “love of reading.”
- Staff receive regular training and coaching, leaving them “overwhelmingly grateful for the support they receive” to fulfil their roles effectively.
- Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities benefit from “early identification” and careful adaptations to ensure they learn successfully.
Areas to improve
- Teachers’ strategies to check what pupils know are “not precise enough” on some occasions to identify misconceptions or readiness for new learning.
- Consequently, some pupils do not deepen their knowledge fully; the school must ensure checks are used effectively to “adapt subsequent learning.”
Safeguarding
The report states that “the arrangements for safeguarding are effective.”
