About Bodriggy Academy

Bodriggy Academy is a state primary school in Cornwall that is currently oversubscribed, a clear signal of its popularity among local families. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 67 applications for just 38 places, with 34 of those applicants putting it as their first preference. The school is currently operating above its official capacity of 294 pupils, with 340 children on roll. This demand sits within a wider local context where the proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 35. 6%, a figure that is notably higher than the national average for primary schools. The school’s intake reflects the community it serves, and the oversubscription suggests that parents are actively choosing Bodriggy despite the pressures on places. The school does not have a religious character and is led by headteacher Daniel Simons, who took on the role at a time of significant change for the school’s rating.
