About St Petroc's Church of England Voluntary Aided Primary School
St Petroc's Church of England Voluntary Aided Primary School sits right on the local authority average for Cornwall when it comes to the key measure of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths at Key Stage 2. The school's figure of 59% is almost exactly in line with the Cornwall average of 58%, placing it in the middle of the pack among the 235 primary schools in the area. That said, the school's overall ranking in the local authority is 108th, which puts it just below the halfway mark, and nationally it sits in the 59th percentile. The picture is more mixed when you look at the higher standard: only 4% of pupils achieved the higher benchmark in all three subjects, though reading scores were stronger, with 24% reaching the higher standard and an average scaled score of 104. Maths averaged 102, with 12% hitting the higher threshold. The school's most recent Ofsted inspection in June 2025 upgraded it from Requires Improvement to Good across all areas, including behaviour, leadership, and early years provision.
