The Roseland Academy
About The Roseland Academy
The Roseland Academy is the top-performing secondary school in Cornwall, a fact backed up by its Progress 8 score of 0.41, which places it first out of 31 schools in the local authority. This score means pupils here achieve nearly half a grade more per subject than the national average, and it sits well above the Cornwall average of -0.12. The school’s most recent Ofsted inspection, an ungraded visit in 2024, confirmed it remains Outstanding, a rating it first earned in its 2017 graded inspection when both leadership and management were judged Outstanding. With 662 pupils on roll, the school is slightly over capacity, and its popularity is clear: for 2025/26 entry, it received 205 applications for 132 places, with 131 of those coming from first-preference families.
