A Newquay secondary school has leaped up the rankings of a national performance table.

Treviglas Academy has been ranked 760th out of 3,261 schools in the Fairer Schools index after climbing 407 places.

Developed by the University of Bristol, the Fairer School Index assesses the performance of schools by combining attainment and progress data with other variables including pupil demographics, ethnicity, and deprivation to provide a broader measure of the impact schools are making.

Researchers have measured every school in England against a series of additional performance metrics, such as free school meals, language, ethnic group, gender and special educational needs, to reveal the best schools in England.

A spokesperson for Treviglas said: “We’re thrilled Treviglas has achieved a remarkable ranking in the Fairer Schools Index 2025.

“Our position in the higher part of this index is a fantastic achievement for us and a reflection of the hard work and dedication of our staff and students.

“The Fairer Schools Index is celebrated for its innovative and equitable approach, recognising the positive impact teachers have on students by going beyond traditional league tables and taking into account a wider range of factors.

“We’re incredibly proud to see our efforts making a real difference.”

Headteacher James Rogers added: "This achievement reflects the unwavering commitment of our entire school community.

“Our students have shown incredible dedication to their studies, our teachers have provided exceptional guidance and support, and our parents have been invaluable partners in their children's education.

“The Fairer Schools Index evaluates schools on a range of criteria, focusing on promoting equity and excellence in education. Our ascent in the rankings highlights our commitment to fostering an inclusive and supportive learning environment where every student has the opportunity to thrive.

“We are immensely proud of this accomplishment and remain dedicated to providing the best possible education and environment for all our students."
