About Menheniot Primary School

Menheniot Primary School sits within the Cornwall local authority, a large county with 235 primary schools where only eight currently hold an Ofsted Outstanding rating. The school itself ranks 12th in the local authority on the KS2 reading, writing and maths expected standard measure, placing it comfortably in the top tier of Cornish primaries. Its closest-performing peers in the area include Calstock Community Primary School, Landewednack Community Primary School and St Buryan Primary School, all of which score slightly higher on the same ranking metric. Menheniot’s own ranking score of 80 puts it in the top 25 per cent nationally and the top 10 per cent regionally within the South West, a strong showing for a village primary with 154 pupils on roll. The school is oversubscribed for the 2025/26 intake, receiving 20 applications for 10 places, with all first-preference families offered a spot. That level of demand suggests a solid local reputation, and the school’s Good Ofsted rating from 2024 reinforces the picture of a well-regarded community primary.
