About Summercourt Academy

Summercourt Academy is a small primary school in Cornwall with 103 pupils on roll against a capacity of 119, meaning it is running at around 87% full. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 17.5%, which is notably higher than the national average of roughly 23% but sits below the Cornwall local authority average for primary schools. Demand for places is strong: for the 2025/26 intake, the school received 24 applications for just 11 places, with all 11 first-preference applicants offered a spot. That works out at an oversubscription ratio of 2.18, meaning more than two families applied for every available place. The school is mixed, non-denominational, and caters for children aged 4 to 11. Headteacher Louise Savage leads a setting that has seen its Ofsted rating shift from Outstanding in 2015 to Good in its most recent graded inspection in March 2025, though early years provision remains Outstanding.
