Saint Joseph's Catholic Primary Voluntary Academy
Cleethorpes, DN35 9DL · North East Lincolnshire · primary school
43rd of 43 primary schools in North East Lincolnshire we can score, 49 in total — the rest without enough published data. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.
Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — 0.0/10 against 1,943 of them, against 0.4/10 nationally. So this is not simply a reflection of who attends. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.
How this is worked out
| Measure | Percentile | Weight | Adds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 8.0 · 0 | 40% | 0.01 |
| Ofsted | 1 | 35% | 0.02 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 0.0 · 10 | 25% | 0.26 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.
Get to know the school
How it's doing. In 2024/25, 8.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. No pupils reached the higher standard. Its results are much the same when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds, so the gap is not explained by intake (0.0 out of 10 against similar schools, 0.4 out of 10 against all schools). Ofsted rated the school Good in December 2025.
Getting in. The school has 85 pupils in a building with 230 places, leaving 145 spare places. This means the school has real spare room, so a place is likely and classes are smaller than it is built for.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who are significantly below the national median in core subjects? What specific interventions are in place to help children reach the expected standard? How does the small class size affect the range of activities offered during the day?
