About Warbstow Primary Academy

Warbstow Primary Academy was rated Good in its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2025, a significant improvement from its previous Requires Improvement rating in 2023. The school now holds Good marks across every category inspected, including quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, early years provision, and leadership and management. When it comes to academic outcomes at Key Stage 2, the picture is mixed. While 80% of pupils met the expected standard in both reading and writing, only 40% achieved the expected level in reading, writing and maths combined. That figure sits well below the Cornwall local authority average of 58%. The school's average reading score of 107 is solid, but the maths average of 100 is exactly the national baseline. Just 10% of pupils reached the higher standard across all three subjects, placing Warbstow in the bottom 50% nationally and 180th out of 235 primary schools in Cornwall.
