St Joseph's Catholic Primary School

About St Joseph's Catholic Primary School

St Joseph’s Catholic Primary School sits in Worcester with a Progress 8 score that isn’t available in the data, but its Key Stage 2 performance can be compared against the local authority average of 61. The school’s most recent Ofsted inspection in 2022 rated it Good overall, with leadership and management also judged Good. That puts it in the majority of Worcestershire primaries — only 13 out of 180 schools in the LA hold an Outstanding rating. The nearest Outstanding school, Oasis Academy Warndon, is just 0.2 km away, so families in the area have a high-performing alternative nearby. St Joseph’s itself is oversubscribed: for 30 places in the 2025/26 intake, it received 45 total applications, with 25 first-preference offers made. That 1.5 oversubscription ratio suggests strong local demand, though it’s not as extreme as some city schools. The school’s Roman Catholic character likely shapes its intake, and the headteacher, Louise Bury, leads a mixed primary of 335 pupils, operating below its capacity of 420.
