About Kennall Vale School
Kennall Vale School is a primary school in Truro, Cornwall, classified by the DfE as a converter academy. Around 130 pupils aged 5 to 11 attend the school. 63% of its pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths at the end of Key Stage 2, broadly in line with the national average (national figure: 61%). Performance is little changed year on 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 108 in reading and 104 in maths (national averages are about 105 and 104). Kennall Vale 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 26 first choices for 20 places. Overall pupil absence was 4.0%. There are about 22.1 pupils per teacher. Its intake is relatively advantaged, with around 9% of pupils eligible for free school meals in the last six years versus about 24% nationally. Kennall Vale 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.
