About Nansloe Academy

Nansloe Academy’s headline Key Stage 2 result sits below the Cornwall local authority average for primary schools. The school reports that 50% of its pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with the LA average of 58%. That gap of eight percentage points places Nansloe in the bottom half of schools in the county, ranking 154th out of 235 primaries. The school’s national percentile of roughly 80 means it is outperformed by four in five schools across England on this measure. However, the picture is not uniformly low. In reading, 61% of pupils reached the expected standard, and the same proportion did so in writing. Maths was slightly stronger, with 64% meeting expectations. The proportion reaching the higher standard in any single subject was modest — 18% in reading, 11% in maths and 11% in writing — and no pupil achieved the higher standard across all three subjects. These figures suggest a school where most children are making solid progress in core subjects but where stretching the most able remains a challenge.
