About Godolphin Primary School

Godolphin Primary School, a small state primary in Cornwall, holds a Good rating from Ofsted, a grade it has maintained across its two most recent inspections. In its most recent graded inspection in 2015, the school was rated Good overall, with leadership and management, early years provision, and overall effectiveness all judged as Good. A subsequent ungraded inspection in 2021 confirmed the school remains Good. The most telling academic metric comes from the 2023/24 Key Stage 2 results, where 67% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined. That figure sits comfortably above the Cornwall local authority average of 58%, placing the school in the top third of primaries nationally and 62nd out of 235 similar schools in the county. It is a solid, above-average performance for a school of just 74 pupils.
