St Meriadoc CofE Junior Academy
About St Meriadoc CofE Junior Academy
St Meriadoc CofE Junior Academy sits comfortably above the Cornwall local authority average for its key stage 2 headline measure. The school achieved a 64% expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with the LA average of 58% for primary schools. That six-point gap places it in the top half of Cornwall primaries, ranked 76th out of 235 schools of the same type. Its ranking score of 64 puts it within the top 50% nationally, and it sits in the 40th percentile for the South West region. The school’s most recent graded Ofsted inspection, in 2017, rated it Good overall, with leadership and management also judged Good. A subsequent ungraded inspection in 2022 confirmed the school remains Good. That marks a clear improvement from its previous graded inspection in 2013, when it was rated Requires Improvement across both overall effectiveness and leadership.
