A Truro primary school has been revealed to be the most popular in Cornwall with more than double the amount of children applying for places available.

St Mary’s C of E School has been shown to have had the most places refused in new data released by Cornwall Council.

A request made under the Freedom of Information Act had asked for details of whether primary, infant and junior schools in Cornwall were over-subscribed.

The request asked for the latest information provided for national offer day 2020 in April.

It shows that 48 primary schools in Cornwall were over-subscribed this year.

St Mary’s C of E in Truro, which is rated outstanding by Ofsted, tops the list with 30 places available and 38 children refused places this year.

The next highest is Marlborough School in Falmouth which has 30 places but had to turn down 32 other applications.

Here is the full list of oversubscribed primary, infant and junior schools in Cornwall alphabetically.

They are listed with the number of places provided first and the number of refused places in brackets.

Cornwall Council does not provide precise numbers for where the number of places refused is less than five as it could identify individuals so these are indicated as <5.
