About St Joseph the Worker RC Primary School

St Joseph the Worker RC Primary School in Salford posts a Key Stage 2 combined expected standard in reading, writing and maths of 58%, which sits just below the local authority average of 61% for primary schools. That three-point gap places the school in the bottom half of Salford primaries, ranked 39th out of 65. But dig into the individual subjects and a more nuanced picture emerges. Reading is a clear strength: 81% of pupils met the expected standard, and the average scaled score of 105 is solidly above the national benchmark of 100. Maths is more mixed, with 70% reaching the expected level and an average score of 102. Writing lags behind at 69% expected, and no pupils achieved the higher standard in writing or in the combined measure. The school’s ranking score of 58 puts it in the bottom 50 nationally, though it’s worth noting that Salford has only nine primaries rated Outstanding by Ofsted, so the local context is competitive.
