Carclaze Community Primary School
About Carclaze Community Primary School
Carclaze Community Primary School sits within Cornwall’s local authority, a mixed state primary for ages 4 to 11. In the most recent ranking of primary schools across the county, it placed 87th out of 208, putting it just above the middle of the pack. For context, the top-performing peers in the same local authority include Calstock Community Primary School, Landewednack Community Primary School, and St Buryan Primary School, all of which achieved higher ranking scores. Carclaze’s own ranking score of 62 places it in the bottom half nationally, though it’s worth noting that the school has made clear progress since its previous Ofsted inspection. In 2018, the school was rated Requires Improvement overall, but by its most recent graded inspection in November 2021, it had climbed to a Good rating across every category — quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision. That upward trajectory suggests a school that has stabilised and is now delivering a solid standard of education.
