About Callington Primary School

Callington Primary School, a state primary in Cornwall for children aged 3 to 11, holds a Good rating from Ofsted following its most recent graded inspection. The school has improved significantly since its previous inspection in 2008, when it was rated Requires Improvement. The most telling exam metric for this school is the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, which sits at 52%. This is below the Cornwall local authority average of 58%, placing Callington 146th out of 208 primary schools in the county and in the bottom 50% nationally.

The proportion of pupils achieving the higher standard in reading is 27%, while in maths it is 19%.
