Check the area around this school
119th 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 — 3.9/10 against 2,557 of them, against 3.5/10 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 | 60.0 · 39 | 40% | 1.56 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 3.0 · 29 | 25% | 0.73 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.
Trevithick Learning Academy overview
How it's doing
In 2024/25, 60.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. 3.0% reached the higher standard, 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 (3.9 out of 10 against similar schools, 3.5 out of 10 against all schools). Ofsted rated the school Good in January 2024.

Worth asking on a visit
How does the school manage class sizes when operating 100 pupils over its designated capacity? What specific support is available for pupils who have not reached the expected standard in core subjects? How does the school ensure that the Good Ofsted rating from 2024 is maintained in daily practice?

The report highlights an “unwavering focus on pupils’ personal development” and a “well-sequenced and ambitious curriculum” that effectively prepares children for their next educational stage.
Strengths

- The school offers a “rich range of experiences beyond the academic,” including outdoor learning, bushcraft, and the ‘Trevictus Games’ for pupils with special educational needs.
