About Trannack Primary School

Trannack Primary School is a small state primary in Cornwall with just 53 pupils on roll against a capacity of 84, meaning it operates at roughly 63% of its potential size. This undersubscription is notable given that 30. 2% of its pupils are eligible for free school meals, well above the national average of around 23% and suggesting the school serves a community with above-average levels of disadvantage. Despite the spare capacity, the school was oversubscribed for the 2025/26 intake, receiving 17 applications for 8 places, with 6 of those coming as first preferences. That oversubscription ratio of 2. 13 indicates strong local demand, likely driven by the school's reputation and its role as a village primary. The school is mixed, non-religious, and takes children from age 3, with nursery provision available. Headteacher Adam Boyes leads a team that has maintained a Good Ofsted rating since at least 2016, with the most recent inspection in 2023 confirming the same grade across all categories including early years provision, behaviour, and leadership.
