About St Joseph's Catholic Primary School, a Voluntary Academy

St Joseph's Catholic Primary School, a Voluntary Academy, sits in the Stockport local authority, where it ranks 42nd out of 67 primary schools based on the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths. That places it in the bottom half of schools locally, a fair distance behind the top-performing peers in the area: Gatley Primary School, St John's Church of England Primary School and Bradshaw Hall Primary School. The school is a small Roman Catholic state primary for mixed-gender pupils aged 3 to 11, with a current roll of just 102 children against a capacity of 175. Over a third of its pupils (33.7%) are eligible for free school meals, a figure well above the national average and a clear indicator of the school's intake profile. The nearest outstanding-rated primary is Alexandra Park Primary School, 1.7 kilometres away, which gives local families a nearby high-performing alternative.
