Check the area around this school
12th of 31 secondary schools in Cornwall we can score. 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 — 5.9/10 against 880 of them, against 5.1/10 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Grade 5+ English & maths 2025/26 | 45.6 · 52 | 46% | 2.38 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | 0.01 · 51 | 38% | 1.97 |
| Attainment 8 2025/26 | 45.9 · 49 | 15% | 0.76 |
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 Treviglas Academy
Overview
Treviglas Academy has “improved significantly” since its previous inspection, with all key judgement areas now rated as Good. The report describes a school where pupils are “proud to be part of the school community” and feel they can “thrive both inside and outside the classroom.” Leadership is characterised by “moral purpose” and a strong commitment to ensuring every pupil feels a sense of belonging.
Strengths
- The curriculum is “highly ambitious” and supported by high-quality, bespoke workbooks that help pupils recall prior learning and support those with special educational needs.
- The reading programme is “exceptionally strong,” with the ‘16 by 16’ initiative ensuring pupils engage with a wide range of carefully chosen texts.
- Personal development is enhanced by an “extensive range of extra-curricular opportunities,” including a long-established link with The Royal Shakespeare Company.
- Behaviour is excellent, with “low-level disruption” being “extremely rare” in a “calm and purposeful environment.”
- Sixth-form students receive “highly personalised support” for university applications, apprenticeships, and employment.
Areas to improve
- In a few subjects, curriculum implementation is less effective, meaning pupils do not consistently “deepen their knowledge and understanding of key concepts” or retain detailed learning.
Safeguarding
The report states that “the arrangements for safeguarding are effective.”
