Calstock Community Primary School
About Calstock Community Primary School
Calstock Community Primary School is a small state primary in Cornwall with just 58 pupils, and its headline Key Stage 2 results stand out sharply against the local authority average. While the Cornwall average for pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined sits at 58%, Calstock achieved a remarkable 92% in the 2023/24 academic year. That places the school first out of 208 primary schools in the county, and in the top 1% nationally. The school also outperforms on higher standards: 17% of pupils reached the higher threshold in all three subjects, and in reading alone that figure rose to 42%. Reading and writing expected rates were 100% each, and maths followed closely at 92%. These are strong numbers for any primary, let alone one with a relatively small cohort, and they suggest that whatever is happening in the classroom is working well for most children.
