Goonhavern Primary School
About Goonhavern Primary School
Goonhavern Primary School is clearly a popular choice among local families. For the 2025/26 admissions round, the school received 70 applications for just 30 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2. 33. Of those, 29 were first-preference applications, and 26 first-preference offers were made. This level of demand suggests a strong reputation in the community, though no parent-view survey data is available to confirm satisfaction rates directly. The school is a state-funded, mixed primary for ages 3 to 11, with a nursery provision, and is located in Cornwall. It is non-religious in character and is led by headteacher David Jones. With 221 pupils on roll against a capacity of 210, the school is slightly over its official number, which is another indicator of its draw. Around 13. 6% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, which is in line with typical primary school demographics.
