St Joseph's Catholic Junior School
About St Joseph's Catholic Junior School
St Joseph's Catholic Junior School in Southwark is a state primary for children aged 7 to 11, currently teaching 226 pupils against a capacity of 240. That leaves a small handful of spare places, but the school is clearly popular within its community. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 46.9%, which is significantly above the national average and reflects the local demographic of the borough. The school’s Roman Catholic character is a defining feature, and while the data doesn’t specify admissions criteria, faith-based oversubscription is common for schools like this. The headteacher is Delia Jameson, who has been leading the school since at least its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2022. With a pupil count close to capacity and a high FSM percentage, this is a school that serves a diverse, inner-city catchment and appears to be well-subscribed by local families who value its Catholic ethos.
