Looe, PL13 1QA · Cornwall · primary 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 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still — 6.9/10 against 2,713 of them, against 6.1/10 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 | 83.0 · 92 | 40% | 3.70 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.78 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 0.0 · 10 | 25% | 0.26 |
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, 83.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 0.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in July 2022. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (6.9 out of 10 against similar schools, 6.1 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils join Rounders, Eco, construction, Tennis, Forest School, chess, science, and creative clubs, alongside football, tag rugby, netball, boxing, multi-skills, gymnastics, dodgeball, and handball. There is no breakfast or after-school club.
Getting in. The school has 39 pupils in a building with 84 places, leaving 45 spare spots. This means there is real spare room, so a place is likely and classes are smaller than the school is built for.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who need extra help with reading, given the 0.0% achieving the higher standard? What are the options for supervision before and after school, since no wraparound clubs exist? How does the small class size affect the range of activities offered?
