About Lanner Primary School

Lanner Primary School is a state primary in Cornwall that currently educates 206 pupils against a capacity of 264, meaning it has room to grow but is clearly in demand. The school is oversubscribed for the 2025/26 academic year, receiving 57 total applications for just 23 places, with 22 of those coming as first preferences. That oversubscription ratio of 2. 48 to 1 signals a school that local families are actively choosing. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 18. 2%, which is slightly above the national average for primary schools and suggests a genuinely mixed intake in terms of socio-economic background. The school is mixed-sex, non-denominational, and serves children from age 3 through to 11, with nursery provision on site. Headteacher Kieran Walsh leads a school that has held a Good rating from Ofsted across both its most recent graded inspection in 2014 and its ungraded inspection in 2022, where inspectors confirmed the school remains Good.
