About Tregolls Academy

Tregolls Academy’s headline metrics place it significantly below the Cornwall local authority average for primary schools. The LA average for pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths at Key Stage 2 is 58 per cent, but at Tregolls Academy that figure stands at just 42 per cent. This gap of 16 percentage points is substantial and places the school in the bottom half of Cornwall’s 235 primary schools, ranking 176th. The school’s national percentile of 89 — meaning it performs worse than 89 per cent of primary schools across England — reinforces the picture of a school that is struggling academically compared with its peers. This is a school where the data suggests families should be particularly attentive to how their child’s progress is being tracked, especially given the wider context of the local authority’s stronger performers, such as Calstock Community Primary School, which tops the LA rankings.
