St Ives school crowned best in the South West by The Sunday Times
A school in St Ives was named as Primary School of the Year in the South West in The Sunday Times’ annual ranking of schools.
St Ives Primary and Nursery School has officially been named as Primary School of the Year in the South West in The Sunday Times Parent Power Guide 2025.
The annual guide is a highly regarded ranking of over 2,000 schools across the UK. The latest edition was released in early December.
“We are absolutely delighted to receive this award,” said Laura Crossley, headteacher of St Ives Primary School.
“It reinforces what we, as a school community, already know: that St Ives is an exceptional school. This achievement is a celebration of the extraordinary efforts of our staff, the unwavering support of our families, and, most importantly, the incredible accomplishments of our children.”
The accolade comes after the school’s most recent Ofsted report back in 2023, which gave the school an ‘Outstanding’ rating.
Crossley added: “Maintaining the exceptional standards recognised in this latest report has remained a top priority, ensuring continued excellence across all areas. St Ives continues to thrive, going from strength to strength, providing an enriching and supportive environment where children and families truly benefit.
“As a community, we are incredibly fortunate to be part of a school that prioritises excellence, well-being, and growth. This award is not just an acknowledgment of our past efforts but a motivation to continue striving for the best for our young people.”
St Ives is located in Ashley Heath and is part of the Heath Academy Trust.
