About Coads Green Primary School

Coads Green Primary School is a small state primary in Cornwall with just 44 pupils on roll against a capacity of 77, meaning it operates at just over half its potential size. This is a school that feels genuinely intimate, and the numbers bear that out. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 24.4%, which is notably above the national average for primary schools and suggests a catchment with above-average levels of disadvantage. Despite the spare capacity, the school is oversubscribed for the 2025/26 reception intake: it received 14 applications for just 6 places, with 5 of those coming as first preferences. That oversubscription ratio of 2.33 to 1 signals strong local demand, even in a rural area where families might otherwise have to travel further. The school has a nursery provision, so children can join from age three, and it is mixed-gender with no religious character. Sarah Reid is the headteacher.
