About Luxulyan School

Luxulyan School is a primary school in Bodmin, Cornwall, classified by the DfE as a converter academy. Around 97 pupils aged 4 to 11 attend the school. The school holds a 'Good' judgement from Ofsted. In the most recent Key Stage 2 SATs, 78% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined — well above the national average of 61%. That marks an improvement of 5.0 percentage points in the proportion reaching the expected standard on the previous year, though small year groups can make these figures swing sharply from year to year. On our composite score, which combines the DfE attainment measures above, this places it around the middle of primary schools nationally.

Luxulyan School was not oversubscribed for September 2026: all 11 families who put it first were offered a place. Overall pupil absence was 3.5%. There are about 19.4 pupils per teacher. Its intake is relatively advantaged, with around 11% of pupils eligible for free school meals in the last six years versus about 24% nationally.
