Check the area around this school
138th 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 — 2.6/10 against 2,826 of them, against 2.9/10 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 | 52.0 · 22 | 40% | 0.88 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 5.0 · 40 | 25% | 1.00 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.
Treloweth Community Primary School overview
How it's doing
In 2024/25, 52.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. The higher standard was reached by 5.0% of pupils, against a national median of 7%. Its results are much the same when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds, so the gap is not explained by intake (2.6 out of 10 against similar schools, 2.9 out of 10 against all schools). Ofsted rated the school Good in February 2025.
Beyond the classroom
Pupils can join football, netball, swimming, gymnastics, athletics, dance, cricket and tag-rugby. The school provides both a breakfast club and an after-school club.

What Ofsted said about Treloweth Community Primary School
Overview
Treloweth Community Primary School has taken effective action to maintain the standards identified at its previous inspection. Pupils enjoy their learning, demonstrate high attendance, and embrace the school’s values of being ‘curious, kind and connected’. The school has made significant strides in addressing previous deficiencies, resulting in stronger pupil learning across the curriculum.
Strengths
- Pupils show ‘positive attitudes to their learning’ and rise to the school’s high expectations.
- Staff use a ‘clear and consistent approach’ to teaching, including ‘reactivate’ strategies to recall prior knowledge.
- The school prioritises reading, with staff teaching phonics well and carefully checking for gaps in knowledge.
- Pupils are supported to be ‘active and responsible citizens’ through leadership roles and community involvement.
- The school promotes wider development well, offering varied experiences such as visits to local tin mines.
Areas to improve
- Staff must clarify the precise knowledge pupils must secure in writing, particularly regarding punctuation and handwriting, to prevent repeated errors.
- The trust needs to strengthen staff expertise to ensure pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) receive precisely identified provision, rather than work that is too challenging.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective.
