About Launceston Primary School

Launceston Primary School sits within Cornwall’s large primary landscape of 235 state schools, where only eight hold an Outstanding rating from Ofsted. The school itself was rated Good in its most recent inspection in January 2024, with every category — quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision — all judged Good. Among its local peers in the same local authority, the top performers by ranking score are Calstock Community Primary School (92), Landewednack Community Primary School (91), and St Buryan Primary School (86). Launceston Primary is a mixed, non-denominational school for children aged 4 to 11, with headteacher Kate Eyre at the helm. Its pupil roll of 71 is well below its capacity of 420, and 26.8 per cent of pupils are eligible for free school meals, which is above the national average and gives a sense of the community it serves.
