About Camelford Community Primary School

Camelford Community Primary School is a state primary in Cornwall that currently teaches 276 pupils against a capacity of 345, meaning it has room to grow. The school serves a community with above-average economic disadvantage: 29.2% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, compared with the national primary average of around 23%. Despite this, the school is in clear demand. For the 2025/26 intake, it received 29 applications for 23 places, with all 23 first-preference applicants offered a spot. The oversubscription ratio of 1.26 suggests that while the school is popular locally, it is not fiercely competitive — a family living nearby with a solid application stands a good chance of getting in. The school is mixed, non-denominational, and takes children from age 2 through to 11, with nursery provision on site.
