About Ladock C of E School

Ladock C of E School is a small Church of England primary in Cornwall, currently teaching 88 pupils against a capacity of 110, so there is some room to grow. Its intake reflects a moderate level of disadvantage: 14.6% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, which is slightly below the national primary average. The school is clearly popular locally. For the 2025/26 reception intake, it received 26 applications for just 5 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 5.2 to one. All five first-preference families were offered a place, but with 21 other applicants missing out, securing a spot here is competitive. The school also offers nursery provision for children aged 2 and up, which may give local families an early foot in the door. With a Church of England character and a headteacher in Thomas Hobbs, it serves a mixed-gender cohort from age 2 through to Year 6.
