About Trevithick Learning Academy

Trevithick Learning Academy is a larger-than-average primary school in Cornwall, currently educating 521 pupils against a capacity of 420, which means it is significantly over its official roll. This oversubscription is reflected in its admission data for the 2025/26 intake: the school received 127 applications for just 55 places, with 63 of those applications coming as first preferences, resulting in an oversubscription ratio of 2. 31. Only 54 first-preference offers were made, so demand clearly outstrips supply. The school serves a community with above-average economic disadvantage — 26. 3% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, compared with a national primary average of around 23%. This context makes its Ofsted rating of Good, awarded after a graded inspection in November 2023, all the more notable. The school is led by headteacher Kirsty Hitchens and is a mixed, non-religious state primary for children aged 2 to 11, with nursery provision on site.
