About Berrycoombe School
Berrycoombe School, a state primary in Cornwall, holds a Good rating from Ofsted, a grade it has maintained across its two most recent inspections. The most telling academic metric for this school is the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined at Key Stage 2, which stands at 54%. This figure is slightly below the Cornwall local authority average of 58%, placing the school in the bottom half of primary schools nationally, at the 71st percentile. Within Cornwall, it ranks 138th out of 208 primary schools. While the combined figure is below par, individual subject results tell a more nuanced story: 71% of pupils met the expected standard in both reading and writing, and 66% in maths. The average scaled scores in reading (105) and maths (103) are both above the national baseline of 100, suggesting that while fewer pupils are hitting the combined benchmark, those who do are performing solidly.
