About Probus Primary School

Probus Primary School sits comfortably above the local authority average for Cornwall when it comes to Key Stage 2 outcomes. The most recent data shows that 70% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with a Cornwall average of 58% for primary schools. That twelve-point gap is a meaningful one, and it places Probus in the top 50 schools in the county out of 208 primaries, ranked 47th. Nationally, the school sits in the 31st percentile, which is a solid mid-table position. The school's Ofsted rating of Good, awarded in its most recent graded inspection, represents a clear improvement from its previous Requires Improvement rating in 2016. The 2025 ungraded inspection noted that some aspects were not as strong, but the overall effectiveness remains Good, with leadership and management, early years provision, and behaviour all rated Good.
