About St Joseph's Catholic Infant School

St Joseph's Catholic Infant School in Brent stands out against the local authority average for primary schools in a way that rewards closer inspection. While the LA average for Key Stage 2 attainment sits at 65, this school only covers Reception to Year 2, so it doesn't produce KS2 results to compare directly. What it does offer is a strong Ofsted record: its most recent graded inspection in 2023 rated overall effectiveness as Good, with two areas — personal development and behaviour and attitudes — judged Outstanding. That's a notable achievement given that only seven of Brent's 61 primary schools currently hold an Outstanding rating. The school's previous inspection in 2009 was also Outstanding across the board, so while the headline grade has slipped slightly, the areas that matter most for young children — how they behave and develop as individuals — remain top-tier.
