About Tintagel Primary School

Tintagel Primary School is a small state primary in Cornwall with a current roll of 81 pupils against a capacity of 120, meaning it operates at around two-thirds full. The school serves a community with a notably high proportion of children eligible for free school meals: 29.2%, which is well above the national average for primary schools (typically around 23-24%) and suggests a significant level of socio-economic disadvantage in the intake. Despite this, the school is clearly in demand locally. For the 2025/26 admissions round, it received 18 applications for just 9 places, with all 9 first-preference applicants being offered a spot. The oversubscription ratio of 2:1 indicates that while the school is popular, it is not among the most fiercely contested in the area. The headteacher is Louise Kirkman, and the school has no religious character, nursery provision, or sixth form, catering for children aged 2 to 11.
