St Keverne Primary is in a phase of improvement, with a strong focus on enhancing the quality of education. While the head of school, Lisa Woodhouse, and her team are making strides to better the curriculum, particularly in early reading, there remains significant work to ensure students are adequately supported in all subjects. The school community is noted for its positive atmosphere and pupils demonstrate commendable behaviors, reflecting the school's values well. However, the curriculum implementation lacks consistency in the wider subjects, which may hinder students' progression.
