About St Joseph's Catholic Primary School, Devizes

St Joseph's Catholic Primary School, Devizes, sits comfortably above the Wiltshire average for its key stage 2 headline measure. While the local authority average for pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined sits at 58%, St Joseph's achieves 67%. That nine-point gap places the school in the top 50 of Wiltshire's 159 primary schools, and within the top third nationally. It's a solid, above-average performance that gives parents a clear statistical reason to take a closer look. The school is also oversubscribed: for its 2025/26 intake, it received 23 applications for just 13 places, with all 13 first-preference families offered a spot. That 1. 77 oversubscription ratio suggests a strong local reputation, and the fact every first-preference applicant got in means it's competitive but not out of reach for families who prioritise it.
