St Erth Community Primary School
About St Erth Community Primary School
St Erth Community Primary School holds a Good rating from Ofsted, a grade it has maintained across its two most recent inspections. The most recent was an ungraded inspection in July 2024, where inspectors judged the school to be 'Improving'. For a more detailed picture of academic outcomes, the school's Key Stage 2 results from the 2023/24 academic year are particularly telling. While 68% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, the standout figure is that 100% of pupils achieved the expected standard in maths individually. This is a remarkable result, especially when you consider that the average maths score was 107, comfortably above the national benchmark of 100. The school also performs well in reading, with an average score of 107 and 42% of pupils reaching the higher standard, though writing sees a lower 21% reaching that higher threshold.
