About St Mabyn CofE School

St Mabyn CofE School is a small Church of England primary in Cornwall, one of 235 state primary schools in the local authority. It currently ranks 202nd in Cornwall on the key stage 2 reading, writing and maths expected standard measure, placing it in the bottom half of the county. For context, the top-performing local peers include Calstock Community Primary School, Landewednack Community Primary School and St Buryan Primary School, all of which score significantly higher on the same metric. With just 43 pupils on roll against a capacity of 84, St Mabyn is operating well below its physical size, and the school has a nursery provision for children from age two. Headteacher Lauren Gouge leads a Church of England setting that has a notably low proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals at 5.6 per cent, well below the national average. The school was rated Good by Ofsted in its most recent graded inspection, which took place in 2017, and a subsequent ungraded inspection in 2022 confirmed that it remains Good.
