About Newquay Junior Academy

Parents at Newquay Junior Academy are overwhelmingly positive about the school, with 85% of respondents saying they would recommend it to other parents. This comes from the Parent View survey covering September 2024 to September 2025, which gathered 113 responses. The strongest signals are around happiness and safety: 91% of parents either agreed or strongly agreed that their child is happy at the school, and a similar 91% felt their child is safe. Extracurricular provision also scores highly, with 93% agreeing there is a good range of clubs and activities, and 93% saying their child can take part. The school is oversubscribed in terms of demand relative to its capacity — it has 463 pupils against a published capacity of 600, so while there is some headroom, the strong parent satisfaction suggests it is a popular local choice. Headteacher Tania Findlay MBE leads the school, which is a state primary for mixed-gender pupils aged 7 to 11 in Cornwall.
