About Breage CofE Primary School

Breage CofE Primary School was rated Requires Improvement in its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2023, a downgrade from the Good rating it had held since at least 2012. The inspection judged every area — quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision — as requiring improvement. The school’s most telling exam metric is the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined at Key Stage 2, which stood at just 25% in the 2023/24 academic year. That is well below the Cornwall local authority average of 58% and places the school 201st out of 208 primary schools in the county, putting it in the bottom 50% nationally. Individually, 58% of pupils met the expected standard in maths and 50% in reading, while writing was lower at 42%. No pupils achieved the higher standard in any of the three subjects.
