About St Joseph's Catholic Primary School, Broadstairs

St Joseph's Catholic Primary School in Broadstairs is a small primary with 152 pupils on roll, and its headline Key Stage 2 results paint a mixed picture compared with the Kent local authority average. The school's proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined stands at 61%, which is just two percentage points below the LA average of 63%. That's a fairly narrow gap, and the school's maths average score of 103 and reading average score of 105 are both solid. Where the school really stands out, however, is in the proportion of pupils reaching the higher standard in maths, at 26%, which is notably above the typical LA figure. In reading, 19% achieved the higher standard, and in writing it was 16%. The school ranks 15th out of 25 primary schools in the Thanet district, placing it in the bottom half locally, but nationally it sits around the 55th percentile, so it's broadly in line with the national picture.
