About Copper Valley Junior Academy

Copper Valley Junior Academy, a state primary in Cornwall, stands out for its recent improvement trajectory rather than its raw academic scores. The school's most recent Ofsted inspection in 2022 awarded it a Good rating across all categories, including quality of education, behaviour, personal development, and leadership. This is a significant step up from its previous inspection in 2018, where it was rated Requires Improvement overall. With 92 pupils against a capacity of 90, the school is effectively full, and its 23.9% of pupils eligible for free school meals is slightly above the national average, indicating a community with above-average levels of disadvantage. While the local authority average for Key Stage 2 attainment sits at 58, Copper Valley's own KS2 results are not provided in the available data, making a direct comparison impossible. However, the school's clear improvement in leadership and management from a 3 to a 2 suggests a focused effort on raising standards.
