About Bosvigo School

Bosvigo School is a primary school in Truro, Cornwall, classified by the DfE as a community school. Around 326 pupils aged 4 to 11 attend the school. 47% of its pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths at the end of Key Stage 2, below the national average (national figure: 61%). The proportion reaching the expected standard has fallen by 9.0 percentage points compared with the previous year. On our composite score, which combines the DfE attainment measures above, this places it in the lower half of primary schools nationally.

Pupils achieved an average scaled score of 104 in reading and 102 in maths (national averages are about 105 and 104). Bosvigo School is oversubscribed: about 8 in 10 of the families who made it their first choice were offered a Reception place for September 2026, with 60 first choices for 45 places. Overall pupil absence was 6.9%. There are about 23.4 pupils per teacher. Bosvigo School does not currently have a recent graded Ofsted judgement on record (often the case for newer or recently converted schools), so it is worth asking when its next inspection is expected. This overview is generated automatically from the latest published DfE performance tables and Ofsted data; figures are rounded, and you can check the originals via the official links above.
