About The Bishops CofE Learning Academy
The Bishops CofE Learning Academy holds a Good rating from its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2025, but the most telling academic metric is its Key Stage 2 combined result. A strong 73% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, well above the Cornwall local authority average of 58%. That places the school 40th out of 208 primary schools in the county, putting it in the top 25% nationally. Reading was a particular strength, with 88% reaching the expected standard and an average scaled score of 107, while maths followed at 82% expected and an average score of 105. The previous Ofsted inspection in 2013 also rated the school Good overall, so the rating has been consistent across two inspections over a decade apart.
