About St Cleer Primary Academy

St Cleer Primary Academy is a state primary school in Cornwall with a current roll of 239 pupils, sitting just below its capacity of 267. That leaves some physical headroom, but the school is clearly in demand: for the 2025/26 intake, it received 54 applications for 31 places, an oversubscription ratio of 1.74. All 31 first-preference applicants were offered a place, meaning the school is popular but not impossibly selective for local families. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 12.3%, which is below the national primary average of around 23% and suggests a relatively affluent intake compared with many state schools. The school is mixed, non-denominational, and serves children from age three through to eleven, with nursery provision on site. It is led by headteacher Michele Spencer and sits within the Cornwall local authority.
