About Pelynt Primary Academy

Pelynt Primary Academy is a primary school in Cornwall, classified by the DfE as a converter academy. Around 87 pupils aged 2 to 11 attend the school. The school holds a 'Good' judgement from Ofsted. 70% of its pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths at the end of Key Stage 2, above the national average (national figure: 61%). The proportion reaching the expected standard has risen by 16.0 percentage points year on 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 among the top 13% of primary schools in England.

Pupils achieved an average scaled score of 107 in reading and 105 in maths (national averages are about 105 and 104). 20% reached the higher standard across all three subjects (around 8% do so nationally). Getting a place is straightforward: for the September 2026 intake every family who made Pelynt Primary Academy their first choice was offered one of its 11 Reception places. Overall pupil absence was 7.1%. There are about 21.8 pupils per teacher. When comparing schools, it is still worth visiting in person to see whether the atmosphere and approach suit your child.
