Who goes here

33 pupils out of 84 places Plenty of room

  • % eligible for free school meals: 29.0%
  • Pupil mix: 1 in 10 (less mixed than the Cornwall average)

Staff

Teachers leaving each year

  • Teacher turnover: 30.4% a year (Cornwall 17%, typical in England 13.9%)
  • Where they went: about 71% moved to another school, 29% left state schools altogether (retirement, other careers, independent schools, abroad)
  • Data years: 2022/23 to 2024/25 (average of 3 years, DfE school workforce census)

Teachers who moved school or left state schools in the year after each November, as a share of all the school's teachers. Some turnover is healthy – retirements, promotions, moving house. This is a small staff, so one or two teachers leaving moves the figure a lot.

Behaviour

Awaiting Data

Across Cornwall: suspensions by reason

  • Suspensions for sexual misconduct: 8 (0.2 per 1,000 pupils; England 0.2)
  • Permanent exclusions for sexual misconduct: 0
  • Suspensions for bullying: 9 (0.2 per 1,000 pupils; England 0.2)
  • Suspensions for abuse against sexual orientation or gender identity: 1 (0.0 per 1,000 pupils; England 0.0)
  • Data year: 2024/25 (DfE suspensions and exclusions statistics)

These are figures for all state primary schools in Cornwall, not this school's own – the government doesn't publish them school by school. A suspension can have up to three reasons. Most sexual harassment between pupils never leads to a suspension, so these figures show only part of the picture.

  • Persistently absent pupils: 15.6%
  • Data year: 2024/25

SEN

No dedicated Unit or Resourced Provision

  • Pupils with an EHC Plan: 12.1%
