St Joseph's Catholic Primary School

Malvern, WR14 1PF · Worcestershire · primary school

Ofsted: Good · 2024 Inspected 2 years ago Mixed Primary Roman Catholic
3.3/10 Below average

88th of 113 primary schools in Worcestershire we can score, 180 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 the 4,231 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 1.2/10 among them, against 2.2/10 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

Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 56.0 · 30 40% 1.19
Ofsted 52 35% 1.81
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, 56.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 0.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in May 2024. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 1.2 out of 10 among them, against 2.2 out of 10 nationally.

Beyond the classroom. The school offers both a breakfast club and an after-school club.

Getting in. With 99 pupils enrolled against a capacity of 210, there are 111 spare places. 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 to move from the expected standard to the higher standard? What specific activities take place during the breakfast and after-school clubs? How does the class size impact individual attention in the classroom?
