About Liskeard Hillfort Primary School

Liskeard Hillfort Primary School is a state primary in Cornwall that currently teaches 382 pupils against a capacity of 420, meaning it has some room to grow but is clearly in demand. The school received 67 total applications for 42 places in the 2025/26 admissions round, making it oversubscribed with a ratio of 1.6 applicants per place. Notably, 41 of those applications were first-preference choices, and 41 offers were made to first-preference families — a strong signal that local parents rank it highly. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 32.2%, which is significantly above the national primary average of around 23% and suggests the school serves a community with above-average levels of disadvantage. This context matters because it frames the school’s academic results and Ofsted journey: the school was rated Requires Improvement in its 2019 inspection but jumped to Good across all categories in its most recent graded inspection in September 2023.
