About Whitstone Primary School

Whitstone Primary School sits well below the local authority average for Key Stage 2 outcomes, a gap that parents will want to weigh carefully. In the 2023/24 academic year, just 29% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with a Cornwall average of 58% for primary schools. That places the school 198th out of 235 primaries in the county, firmly in the bottom half of the local rankings. The picture is mixed by subject: 57% of children met expectations in both maths and writing, which is closer to the LA norm, but reading was a weaker point at 43%. At the higher standard, 29% of pupils achieved in each of the three subjects, which is broadly in line with the national picture for a school of this size. These figures come from a small cohort of just 96 pupils, so individual results can shift noticeably from year to year, but the overall trend suggests academic attainment is an area the school is working to improve.
