About St Joseph's Catholic Primary School

St Joseph's Catholic Primary School in Warwick is a popular choice among local families, with 59 applications for just 17 places in the 2025/26 admissions round. That works out at 3.47 applications per place, and of the 14 families who put it as their first preference, all 14 received an offer. The school is at full capacity with 210 pupils, so demand clearly outstrips supply. In its most recent ungraded inspection in February 2024, Ofsted confirmed the school remains Good, a rating it has held since its last graded inspection in 2014. The previous graded inspection in 2008 rated it Outstanding across the board, so the current Good rating represents a step down, but the school has maintained that standard for a decade. With 21% of pupils eligible for free school meals, the school serves a reasonably diverse intake compared with the local average.
