About Nancledra School

Nancledra School’s key stage 2 results put it well ahead of the Cornwall local authority average, which sits at 58% for pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths. At Nancledra, that figure is 80% — a significant gap that places the school in the top 25% nationally and 11th out of 208 primary schools in Cornwall. The school is also oversubscribed, with 48 applications for 17 places in the 2025/26 admissions round, and 11 of those 13 first-preference families were offered a spot. That level of demand suggests local parents see the school as a strong option, and the numbers back it up. With only 86 pupils on roll against a capacity of 105, there is some room, but competition for places is real. The school’s ranking score of 80 puts it just outside the top three in the county, behind Calstock, Landewednack and St Buryan, but still comfortably among the strongest performers in Cornwall.
