About St Joseph's Roman Catholic Primary School, Reddish, a Voluntary Academy

St Joseph’s Roman Catholic Primary School in Reddish is a state-funded primary that currently educates 471 pupils, just shy of its 490-place capacity. The school serves a community with a notably high proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals, at 30.6 per cent — well above the national average and a clear indicator of the area’s socioeconomic profile. Demand for places is strong: for the 2025/26 intake, the school received 100 applications for 47 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.13. Of those, 44 first-preference families were offered a place, meaning that even among those who put St Joseph’s first, not all secured a spot. The school has a nursery provision, so families can join from age three, and its Roman Catholic character will be a draw for many local parents. With a mixed intake and a full age range from 3 to 11, it’s a genuinely local primary that reflects the diversity of its Stockport neighbourhood.
