About St Joseph's Catholic Primary School

If you are a parent weighing up St Joseph's Catholic Primary School in Greenwich, the numbers suggest a school that local families clearly want to get into. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 46 applications for just 17 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.71. Of those applications, 12 were first-preference choices, and all 12 received offers. That level of demand is a strong signal from the local community, though it is worth noting that the school's most recent Ofsted inspection, carried out in 2023, rated it Good across every category — quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision. Its previous inspection in 2012 also rated it Good overall, so the school has maintained a consistent standard over time. With 136 pupils on roll against a capacity of 210, there is some physical room, but the high application numbers mean you will need to be confident in your admission criteria.
