About St Joseph's Catholic Primary, Stanley

St Joseph's Catholic Primary in Stanley holds a Good rating from Ofsted, a grade it has maintained since its most recent ungraded inspection in February 2024, which confirmed the school remains Good. The most telling academic metric comes from the 2023/24 Key Stage 2 results, where 65% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined. That figure sits just above the County Durham local authority average of 62%, placing the school 77th out of 170 primary schools in the area. In the North East region, it ranks 314th out of 677, and nationally it sits in the 43rd percentile. While no pupils achieved the higher standard across all three subjects, individual subject scores tell a more nuanced story: the average scaled scores in both reading and maths were 104, and 23% of pupils hit the higher standard in each of those subjects. Writing proved tougher, with only 10% reaching the higher threshold.
