Check the area around this school
100th 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 4,206 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 2.9/10 among them, against 4.4/10 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 | 60.0 · 39 | 40% | 1.56 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 7.0 · 51 | 25% | 1.27 |
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 Trevisker Primary School
Overview
Trevisker Primary School has taken effective action to maintain the standards identified at the previous inspection. Pupils thrive in a "warm and caring environment" where staff hold high expectations, resulting in confident, polite, and happy learners. The school is deeply embedded in its local community, offering rich experiences that broaden pupils’ horizons and prepare them well for their next steps.
Strengths
- Staff have "high expectations of pupils’ achievement," which pupils respond to well, leading to improved outcomes at the end of key stage 2.
- English and mathematics are "strong features of the school," with pupils completing calculations "quickly and accurately" and sharing ideas with clarity.
- Reading is prioritised with "thoughtfully selected" books and effective phonics training, enabling pupils to become "fluent and confident readers."
- Attendance has "risen sharply" due to tightly managed systems and open dialogue between leaders and parents.
- The school successfully uses local connections to prepare pupils for the wider world, ensuring they understand "fundamental British values."
Areas to improve
- In a few subjects, teachers lack the necessary understanding to teach the curriculum effectively, meaning pupils do not always know or remember the most significant content.
- The trust must ensure subject leaders and staff have the knowledge to develop the curriculum further and improve pupil outcomes in these areas.
Safeguarding
The report states that "the arrangements for safeguarding are effective."
