Check the area around this school
158th 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 — 1.9/10 against 2,479 of them, against 2.1/10 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 | 44.0 · 12 | 40% | 0.47 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 4.0 · 35 | 25% | 0.88 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.
Trewirgie Junior School overview
How it's doing
In 2024/25, 44.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. The higher standard was reached by 4.0%, 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 (1.9 out of 10 against similar schools, 2.1 out of 10 against all schools). Ofsted rated the school Good in September 2023.

What Ofsted said about Trewirgie Junior School
Overview
Trewirgie Junior School is described as a place where leaders hold high expectations, resulting in pupils who feel "safe, secure and happy." The inspection highlights an "exceptional" personal development curriculum and "outstanding" behaviour, with staff demonstrating "inspirational leadership" and a clear vision to "make a difference, have an impact, leave a legacy."
Strengths
- Pupils display "outstanding attitudes to learning," engaging enthusiastically and listening respectfully to one another.
- The personal development curriculum is "exceptional," fostering "knowledgeable, compassionate and global citizens" through community projects and clubs.
- Reading is a significant strength, with leaders making it "central to its work" and ensuring pupils catch up quickly if they struggle with phonics.
- Staff are "empowered to make changes to the curriculum," and early-career teachers feel "well supported."
- Governors "challenge and support leaders in equal measure," maintaining clear oversight of curriculum and safeguarding.
Areas to improve
- Occasionally, teachers do not implement the curriculum as well as leaders expect, meaning some pupils "do not learn as much as they could."
- In subjects such as mathematics, some tasks do not "closely match pupils’ needs," preventing consistent progress.
- Leaders need to ensure teachers teach the curriculum "consistently well and in line with the high ambition of the curriculum."
Safeguarding
The report states that "the arrangements for safeguarding are effective," with staff trained to spot signs of harm and leaders acting promptly on concerns.
