About Burraton Community Primary School

Burraton Community Primary School holds a Good rating from Ofsted, a grade it has maintained since its most recent graded inspection in 2014 and confirmed as remaining Good in an ungraded inspection in 2023. That judgement is backed by solid academic outcomes. In the 2023/24 Key Stage 2 assessments, 64% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined. That is six percentage points above the Cornwall local authority average of 58%, placing the school 77th out of 208 primary schools in the county. While the proportion hitting the higher standard in all three subjects sits at 7%, individual subject scores tell a more detailed story: 80% of pupils met the expected level in reading, 78% in maths and 76% in writing. Average scaled scores of 106 in reading and 104 in maths are both above the national benchmark of 100, suggesting solid core teaching across the board.
