About St Joseph's Catholic Primary School, Carterton

St Joseph’s Catholic Primary School in Carterton was rated Good by Ofsted in its most recent graded inspection in November 2023, a notable improvement from its previous Requires Improvement rating in 2020. The school earned Good marks across every category — quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision — all of which had been rated lower in the earlier inspection. That upward trajectory is the headline story here, but the exam data tells a more complicated tale. At Key Stage 2, just 27% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with a local authority average of 61%. The school’s average maths score was 97, and reading averaged 101. While 20% of pupils reached the higher standard in reading and 7% in writing, no pupils achieved the higher mark in maths. These results place St Joseph’s 43rd out of 44 primary schools in West Oxfordshire and in the bottom 50% nationally.
