About Parc Eglos School

Parc Eglos School is a popular choice among local families, with 41 first-preference applications for its 42 reception places in the 2025/26 admissions round, resulting in an oversubscription ratio of 2. 24. That means more than two families wanted each place, a clear signal of its standing in the community. The school, which serves children aged 2 to 11 in Cornwall, has a nursery provision and currently accommodates 428 pupils against a capacity of 476. While parent view data isn't available here, the strong first-preference demand suggests a school that local parents are actively choosing. Headteacher Vicky Sanderson leads a mixed, non-religious state primary that, despite its popularity, received a Requires Improvement rating from Ofsted in its most recent graded inspection in June 2024.
