About Trekenner Community Primary School

Trekenner Community Primary School is a small state primary in Cornwall with a mixed intake of 58 pupils, well below its capacity of 84. The school serves a community where 17.2% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, a figure that sits slightly above the national average for primary schools. Demand for places is modest but clear: for the 2025/26 academic year, the school received 7 applications for 5 available places, with 4 of those coming as first preferences. This gives an oversubscription ratio of 1.4, meaning the school is slightly oversubscribed but not fiercely competitive. The school offers nursery provision for children from age 2, and its age range runs through to Year 6. Headteacher Laura Mead leads a setting that, based on its current pupil numbers, has room to grow while still attracting enough local interest to fill its Reception class each year.
