About St Joseph's Catholic Infant School

St Joseph's Catholic Infant School was rated Good in its most recent Ofsted inspection, a significant improvement from its previous Requires Improvement rating. The inspection, which took place in 2025, confirmed that standards are being maintained, with leadership and management, early years provision, and overall effectiveness all judged as Good. As an infant school catering for children aged 2 to 7, the school does not publish Key Stage 2 SATs results, which are the standard metric for primary school performance in England. However, the local authority average for pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths at Key Stage 2 is 64 per cent, providing a useful benchmark for the area. The school's most telling academic metric comes from its parent view survey, where 100 per cent of the 11 respondents said they would recommend the school, and 82 per cent strongly agreed that their child does well there.
