St Joseph's Catholic Primary School, A Voluntary Academy
MANSFIELD, NG20 9RP · Derbyshire · primary school
6th of 263 primary schools in Derbyshire we can score, 353 in total — the rest without enough published data. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.
Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still — 8.8/10 against 3,329 of them, against 8.1/10 nationally. 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 | 76.0 · 80 | 40% | 3.19 |
| Ofsted | 96 | 35% | 3.37 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 15.0 · 84 | 25% | 2.09 |
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, 76.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. The higher standard was reached by 15.0%. Ofsted rated the school Outstanding in April 2024. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (8.8 out of 10 against similar schools, 8.1 out of 10 against all schools).
Getting in. The school has 241 pupils in a building with 210 places, meaning it is over capacity by 31. Places are competitive because the school is over its stated capacity.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school manage the waitlist given it is 31 pupils over capacity? What specific support is available for pupils who do not reach the higher standard in maths? How does the school maintain its Outstanding rating while operating above its designated place limit?
