Marazion School
About Marazion School
Marazion School’s most recent Ofsted inspection in 2023 rated it Good overall, but the detail tells a more nuanced story. Leadership and management were judged Outstanding, which is a significant step up from the Requires Improvement rating the school received in its 2015 inspection. That earlier inspection had also flagged leadership and management as requiring improvement, so the turnaround is clear. However, the school’s early years provision was rated Good in both inspections, suggesting consistency in that area. For a primary school in Cornwall, where only 8 out of 235 similar schools hold an Outstanding rating, Marazion’s Good result places it in solid company. The school’s headteacher, Chris Coyle-Chislett, has overseen this improvement, and the ungraded inspection in 2023 confirmed the school remains Good. While the data doesn’t include a Progress 8 score or KS2 SATs results for Marazion itself, the local authority average for KS2 attainment is 58, which gives a rough benchmark for how primary schools in Cornwall typically perform.
