Mount Hawke Academy

School overview

Mount Hawke Academy is a primary school serving Truro, Cornwall, classified by the DfE as a converter academy. It has 259 pupils aged 4 to 11 on roll. 76% of its pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths at the end of Key Stage 2, well above the national average (national figure: 61%). The proportion reaching the expected standard has fallen by 3.0 percentage points compared with the previous year. On our composite score, which combines the DfE attainment measures above, this places it in the top 21% of primary schools nationally.

Pupils achieved an average scaled score of 108 in reading and 107 in maths (national averages are about 105 and 104). 12% reached the higher standard across all three subjects (around 8% do so nationally). 97% of the families who made Mount Hawke Academy their first choice were offered a Reception place for September 2026, even though the school made at least as many offers as it had first choices - the rest withdrew, moved or fell outside a priority group. Overall pupil absence was 5.3%. There are about 22.3 pupils per teacher. Its intake is relatively advantaged, with around 8% of pupils eligible for free school meals in the last six years versus about 24% nationally. Mount Hawke Academy 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.
