Upton Cross Academy
Liskeard, PL14 5AX · Cornwall · primary school
28th 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 — 8.2/10 against 3,998 of them, against 7.8/10 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 | 75.0 · 78 | 40% | 3.11 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 13.0 · 78 | 25% | 1.94 |
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, 75.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 13.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in July 2025. Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds, so they are not simply a reflection of who attends (8.2 out of 10 against similar schools, 7.8 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. The school does not currently list any specific clubs, sports, or arts activities.
Getting in. There are 101 pupils in a school with 105 places, leaving 4 spare places. The school is close to full, so places are likely to be competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who do not reach the higher standard in core subjects? What are the specific steps to secure a place given the limited availability? How does the school structure the day for children who do not attend external clubs?
