About St Joseph's Catholic Primary School

St Joseph’s Catholic Primary School in East Staffordshire has been rated Outstanding in every category of its most recent Ofsted inspection, a significant step up from its previous Good rating in 2013. The inspection, carried out in June 2024, awarded top marks for overall effectiveness, quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, early years provision, and leadership and management. This places the school among a select group: only 20 out of 308 primary schools in the Staffordshire local authority hold an Outstanding rating. The most telling exam metric comes from the 2023/24 Key Stage 2 results, where 85% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined. That figure is well above the local authority average of 65%, and it ranks St Joseph’s third out of 23 primary schools in East Staffordshire, putting it in the top 10% nationally.
