About St Day and Carharrack Community School

St Day and Carharrack Community School is a small state primary in Cornwall, led by headteacher Susannah Storey, that sits within the top 25 per cent of schools nationally based on its Key Stage 2 results. In the local authority, it ranks 32nd out of 208 primary schools, placing it among the stronger performers in the county. Its closest peers in the rankings include Calstock Community Primary School, Landewednack Community Primary School, and St Buryan Primary School, all of which score higher on the same metric. The school is heavily oversubscribed for 2025/26, with 19 applications for just 10 places and all first-preference families receiving an offer, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1. 9. With only 107 pupils against a capacity of 210, the school is running well below its maximum size, which may reflect its rural location in Cornwall rather than a lack of demand. Over a third of pupils (39. 3 per cent) are eligible for free school meals, a figure well above the national average.
