Troon Community Primary School
About Troon Community Primary School
Troon Community Primary School sits within the Cornwall local authority, a mixed state primary for children aged 2 to 11. In the most recent local rankings of primary schools, it placed 103rd out of 235 schools of the same type in the county, placing it just inside the top half. The highest-ranked nearby peers include Calstock Community Primary School, Landewednack Community Primary School, and St Buryan Primary School, all of which sit above Troon on the local leaderboard. The school has a relatively small roll of 147 pupils against a capacity of 175, and just over 31% of its children qualify for free school meals, which is above the national average and reflects the mixed catchment it serves. Headteacher Lucy Askew leads a school that has held a Good rating from Ofsted since its graded inspection in 2017, and an ungraded inspection in October 2022 confirmed that it remains Good. That marks a clear improvement from its previous graded inspection in 2013, when the school was rated Requires Improvement across both leadership and overall effectiveness.
