St Joseph's Catholic Primary School
About St Joseph's Catholic Primary School
St Joseph’s Catholic Primary School in Cannock Chase is a state-funded mixed primary with a Roman Catholic character, currently rated Good by Ofsted. The school has capacity for 210 pupils and offers nursery provision for children aged two, making it a full two-to-eleven option for local families. While the data does not include current pupil numbers or free school meal percentages, the school’s religious designation and nursery intake suggest it draws from a committed Catholic catchment alongside wider community families. The local authority, Staffordshire, has 308 primary schools of the same type, with only 20 rated Outstanding, so a Good rating places St Joseph’s in a solid middle tier. There is no oversubscription data available, but the combination of a chapel, forest school, and sensory room on site indicates a school that invests in both spiritual and special educational needs provision, which may appeal to families seeking a values-led environment with practical support.
