Otterham Community Primary School

About Otterham Community Primary School

Otterham Community Primary School sits in the bottom half of Cornwall primary schools when measured by the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, a metric where the school scores 43 per cent against a local authority average of 58 per cent. That gap of 15 percentage points is significant and places the school at rank 170 out of 235 primaries in Cornwall. The school's overall ranking score of 43 puts it in the bottom 50 per cent nationally, too. However, the picture is not uniformly below average. In maths, pupils achieved a higher average scaled score of 103, and 64 per cent met the expected standard in that subject alone, which is a more respectable showing. The school's most recent Ofsted inspection in July 2024 rated it Good across every category, including quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision. That rating has been consistent since at least its previous inspection in 2013, which also awarded Good overall.
