About Foxhole Learning Academy

Foxhole Learning Academy, a small primary school in Cornwall, holds a Good rating from its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2024, a grade it has maintained consistently across both its 2018 and 2024 inspections. The school’s most telling academic metric is its Key Stage 2 performance in reading, writing, and maths combined. In the 2023/24 academic year, 53% of pupils met the expected standard in all three subjects. This places the school below the Cornwall local authority average of 58%, and ranks it 141st out of 208 primary schools in the county, putting it in the bottom half of local schools. Nationally, it sits in the 74th percentile. While the combined figure is a key measure, individual subject results tell a more nuanced story: 73% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths separately, and average scores in reading and maths both stood at 103.
