About Trenode CofE VA Primary Academy

Trenode CofE VA Primary Academy is a small Church of England primary school in Cornwall with just 39 pupils, and its academic performance stands out against the local authority average. The most recent Key Stage 2 data shows the school achieving a score of 58, which is exactly in line with the Cornwall LA average for primary schools. This is a solid, unflashy result that places Trenode firmly in the middle of the pack, rather than among the top-performing peers like Calstock Community Primary School (ranking score 92) or Landewednack Community Primary School (91). For a school of its size, matching the LA average is a respectable achievement, especially given that 25.6% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, a figure that suggests a significant proportion of children come from disadvantaged backgrounds. The school's most recent Ofsted inspection in 2022 rated it Good overall, a clear improvement from its previous Requires Improvement rating in 2017, with Good marks across all four graded areas: quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, and leadership and management.
