Lewannick Community Primary School
About Lewannick Community Primary School
Lewannick Community Primary School has been rated Good across all areas in its most recent Ofsted inspection, a significant improvement from its previous Requires Improvement rating. The inspection, which took place in 2025, awarded Good marks for quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision. However, the school’s academic outcomes at Key Stage 2 tell a more complicated story. Just 33% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, well below the Cornwall local authority average of 58%. This places Lewannick in the bottom 50 nationally for this metric, ranking 194th out of 208 primary schools in Cornwall. Individual subject scores were mixed: 67% reached the expected level in maths, with an average scaled score of 103, while reading and writing both sat at 44% expected. Only 11% of pupils achieved a higher standard in reading, and none did so in maths or writing.
