About St Joseph's Catholic Primary School

Ofsted's Parent View survey, based on 23 responses collected between September 2024 and September 2025, shows that 91% of parents would recommend St Joseph's Catholic Primary School. That's a strong vote of confidence, and the detail backs it up: 95% of respondents agreed or strongly agreed that their child is happy at the school and feels safe there. The school is clearly popular locally, too. For the 2025/26 reception intake, it received 98 applications for 53 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1.85. Of those 98 applications, 51 were first-preference choices, and all 51 of those families were offered a place. So while the school is oversubscribed overall, putting it first on your form gives you a very good chance. Parents also feel well-informed: 87% agreed the school lets them know how their child is doing, and a similar proportion felt the school has high expectations for their child.
