About Werrington Community Primary School

Werrington Community Primary School is a small state primary in Cornwall that parents clearly want to get into. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received seven applications for just two available places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 3.5. All seven applicants put it as their first preference, and the school made two first-preference offers. That level of demand suggests strong local reputation, even though the school doesn't publish a parent-view recommendation percentage. With 66 pupils on roll against a capacity of 60, the school is already running slightly over its official number, which is unusual for a school of this size. The headteacher is Jon Phillpotts, and the school has a nursery provision for children from age two, making it a natural choice for families looking for continuity from early years right through to Year 6.
