About Leedstown Community Primary School

Parents at Leedstown Community Primary School are overwhelmingly positive, with 85% of respondents in the most recent Parent View survey saying they would recommend the school to other parents. That’s a strong vote of confidence for this small, state-funded primary in Cornwall. The school is clearly popular locally: for the 2025/26 intake, it received 20 applications for just 8 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2. 5. Only 6 first-preference offers were made, so getting a place is competitive. When it comes to day-to-day experience, the numbers back up the good feeling. 97% of parents agreed or strongly agreed that their child is happy at the school, and 96% felt their child is safe. Communication with families also scores well: 97% said the school lets them know how their child is doing, and 85% felt the school makes them aware of what their child will learn. There are a few areas where opinion is more divided — 19% of parents disagreed that their child can take part in clubs and activities, and 15% disagreed that concerns are dealt with properly — but the overall picture is of a school that parents trust and value.
