School type

Infant school

Ages 4–7

Key Stage 2 performance

Trenance Learning Academy is an infant school for pupils aged 4–7. Pupils move on to a separate junior or middle school before Year 6, so the school does not enter pupils for the Key Stage 2 SATs and has no KS2 results to publish.

This applies to every infant school in England — it does not mean data is missing. Ofsted judgements and school information are shown below.

Cornwall does not publish how far from the school the last child offered a Reception place lived, so there is no cut-off distance to show for Trenance Learning Academy. Ask the school or the council how places were allocated this year.
