About St Meriadoc CofE Infant Academy

St Meriadoc CofE Infant Academy in Cornwall was rated Good in its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2023, a rating it has held consistently across both its graded and ungraded inspections. The school, which serves children from age 2 to 7, is oversubscribed: for the 2025/26 academic year it received 58 applications for 36 places, with 35 of those being first-preference applications. That oversubscription ratio of 1. 61 suggests a school that local families actively want to get into. The most informative exam metric for an infant school is the Early Years Foundation Stage profile, and while the data doesn't include specific scores, the Ofsted report rated early years provision as Good, the same as leadership and management. With 41. 7 per cent of pupils eligible for free school meals, the school serves a community with above-average disadvantage, yet still maintains a Good rating.
