Schools in Newquay
Newquay has 12 schools in the catchment.school database, including 10 primaries and 2 secondaries – Newquay Tretherras and Treviglas Academy – both of which are academies. Cornwall Council coordinates admissions for community schools, but with 10 of the 12 schools operating as academies, parents in Newquay need to apply to each school directly as well as through the council's coordinated round.
The average fill rate across Newquay schools with published capacity data is 79%, and two schools are currently at or above their admission number. Cornwall's rural catchment geography means that secondary transport routes and the distances between settlements matter more here than in urban areas: families outside the town boundary should confirm which secondary's catchment they fall into before applying. Five of the six Ofsted-rated schools in Newquay are rated Good or Outstanding.
