About Bosvigo School

Bosvigo School sits within Cornwall’s primary landscape as a state-funded, mixed-gender school for children aged 4 to 11. In the local authority’s rankings, it places 125th out of 208 primary schools, putting it in the bottom half of the county. The top-performing peers nearby include Calstock Community Primary School, Landewednack Community Primary School, and St Buryan Primary School, all of which score notably higher on the same ranking metric. Bosvigo’s ranking score of 56 places it well behind these three, though it is worth noting that the school is oversubscribed: for the 2025/26 intake, it received 126 applications for 45 places, with 44 first-preference offers made from 46 first-preference applications. That level of demand suggests local families see something worthwhile here, even if the raw ranking doesn’t put it among the county’s elite. The school’s capacity is 315, and it currently has 326 pupils on roll, so it is running slightly above its official capacity.
