About St Minver School

St Minver School is a state primary in Cornwall that currently educates 158 pupils against a capacity of 210, meaning it is running at roughly three-quarters full. That spare capacity is notable given the demand for places: for the 2025/26 intake, the school received 36 applications for 25 places, with all 25 first-preference applicants offered a spot. The oversubscription ratio of 1.44 suggests a healthy but not frantic level of local interest. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 12.6%, which is below the national average for primary schools and indicates a relatively advantaged intake compared with many schools in the county. The school is non-denominational and co-educational, taking children from age two through to eleven, and offers nursery provision on site. Headteacher Alicia Warren leads a team that has maintained a Good Ofsted rating since at least 2011, with the most recent ungraded inspection in December 2022 confirming the school remains Good.
