About Boyton Community Primary School

Boyton Community Primary School is a small state primary in Cornwall with just 31 pupils, and its headline academic metrics sit well below the local authority average. In the 2023/24 Key Stage 2 assessments, only 33% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with a Cornwall LA average of 58%. That gap is significant, and it places the school at 192nd out of 208 primary schools in the county, putting it in the bottom 50 nationally by this measure. The school’s average reading score was 101 and maths 97, with no pupils reaching the higher standard in either subject. However, the picture is more nuanced than these numbers alone suggest. The school has recently turned a corner in its Ofsted rating, moving from Requires Improvement in its December 2022 inspection to Good across all judged areas in June 2025, including quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, and leadership and management. That jump suggests real progress under headteacher Katherine Davies.
