Mithian School
About Mithian School
Mithian School is a small state primary in Cornwall that sends a strong signal to parents through its admissions data. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 46 applications for just 7 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 6. 57. That means nearly seven families applied for every available spot, and of the 6 first-preference applications received, all 6 were offered places. This level of demand suggests the school has a solid reputation among local families, even though the school does not publish a parent-view survey percentage. With only 85 pupils on roll against a capacity of 105, the school is not at full capacity, yet the oversubscription indicates that its appeal is concentrated among those who prioritise it as their first choice. The headteacher is Evey Evison, and the school is non-religious, co-educational, and serves children aged 4 to 11.
