St Agnes Academy
About St Agnes Academy
St Agnes Academy was rated Outstanding across every category in its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2024, a significant jump from its previous Good rating in 2010. The school now holds top marks for overall effectiveness, quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision. This places it among just eight primary schools in Cornwall to achieve Outstanding status. The most telling academic metric is the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined: 84 per cent. That is well above the Cornwall local authority average of 58 per cent and earns the school a ranking of 4th out of 208 primary schools in the county. Nationally, it sits in the top seven per cent of all primary schools for this measure.
