About Roskear Primary & Nursery School

Roskear Primary & Nursery School sits in an interesting position within Cornwall’s primary landscape. Its headline KS2 figure – 59% of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths – is just a whisker above the local authority average of 58%. That puts it almost exactly in line with the typical Cornwall primary, which is a solid, unflashy result. But dig a little deeper and the picture gets more nuanced. The school’s ranking in the LA is 106th out of 235 primaries, placing it in the bottom half nationally (60th percentile). What stands out is the gap between the core subjects: reading and writing expected rates sit at 68% and 75% respectively, while maths lags at 77% expected but with a much lower higher-standard rate of just 9%. The combined higher-standard figure is only 4%, which is notably low and suggests that while most children are hitting the baseline, very few are stretching beyond it.
