About St Joseph and St Teresa Catholic Primary School

Ofsted's Parent View survey, completed by 48 families between September 2024 and September 2025, shows that 83% of respondents would recommend St Joseph and St Teresa Catholic Primary School. That's a strong endorsement, and it's backed up by the school being oversubscribed for the 2025/26 academic year: 43 families applied for 23 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1. 87. First-preference applications alone totalled 25, meaning not every family who wanted a place got one. Looking at the individual survey questions, the picture is positive. 96% of parents either agreed or strongly agreed that their child is happy at the school, and 88% felt their child is safe. Communication seems to be a real strength — 100% of parents agreed or strongly agreed that the school makes them aware of what their child will learn, and 94% said the school lets them know how their child is doing. The only area where a notable minority disagreed was around how concerns are dealt with, where 19% of respondents disagreed or strongly disagreed.
