About St Joseph's Catholic Primary School (Wx)

St Joseph's Catholic Primary School in Broxbourne was rated Good overall by Ofsted in its most recent graded inspection, a step down from the Outstanding it held previously. The ungraded inspection that followed in 2024 noted that the school had improved significantly since that last full inspection, and inspectors awarded Good marks for leadership, management, early years provision and overall effectiveness. On the key academic metric for primary schools, 60% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined at Key Stage 2 in the 2023/24 results. That is slightly below the local authority average of 64% for Hertfordshire, and places the school 15th out of 26 primary schools in the Broxbourne area. Nationally, it sits in the bottom half of all state primaries on this measure, though the picture is more nuanced when you look at individual subjects.
