About St Newlyn East Learning Academy

St Newlyn East Learning Academy is a state primary school in Cornwall, a local authority where only eight out of 235 primary schools hold an Outstanding rating from Ofsted. This school, however, has established itself as a strong performer within the county. It ranks 7th out of 208 primary schools in Cornwall based on its Key Stage 2 results, placing it in the top 4% locally. Its closest competitors in the rankings are Calstock Community Primary School, Landewednack Community Primary School, and St Buryan Primary School, all of which sit just ahead of it. The school is led by headteacher Rachael Hatch and caters to 154 pupils aged 4 to 11, operating below its capacity of 210. Its most recent Ofsted inspection, an ungraded visit in November 2024, confirmed that standards are being maintained, and it retains its overall Good rating, a grade it has held consistently since its last graded inspection in 2019.
