Schools in Cornwall
297 schools across 50 towns
Based on the most recent published single-word Ofsted grades. Ofsted stopped issuing overall grades (Outstanding, Good, Requires Improvement, Inadequate) in September 2024, so schools inspected more recently — under Ofsted’s report cards — may not have one. Figures cover the 120 of 297 schools here that have a published grade.
Cornwall has 297 schools across 50 towns — 235 primary, 31 secondary, educating around 74,404 pupils. 79% of schools with a published Ofsted grade are rated Good or Outstanding (95 of 120).
