About Braddock CofE Primary School

Braddock CofE Primary School holds a Good rating from Ofsted, a grade it maintained in its most recent ungraded inspection in 2022. However, the school’s academic outcomes tell a more nuanced story. In the 2023/24 Key Stage 2 assessments, only 20% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined. That figure is well below the Cornwall local authority average of 58% and places the school 204th out of 208 primary schools in the county, putting it in the bottom 50% nationally. The picture is mixed by subject: 70% of pupils reached the expected level in writing, but just 20% did so in maths and 50% in reading. Average scores were 97 in maths and 102 in reading, and only 10% of pupils achieved the higher standard in any of the three subjects. This is a school where the Ofsted rating and the exam results tell quite different stories.
