St Joseph's Catholic Primary School
Stonehouse, GL10 3TY · Gloucestershire · primary school
22nd of 219 primary schools in Gloucestershire we can score, 242 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 — 9.3/10 against 3,954 of them, against 8.9/10 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 | 80.0 · 88 | 40% | 3.51 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 20.0 · 92 | 25% | 2.30 |
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, 80.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. The higher standard was reached by 20.0%. Ofsted rated the school Good in January 2024. Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds, so they are not simply a reflection of who attends (9.3 out of 10 against similar schools, 8.9 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils join Reading, History, Lego, Science, Programming, Digital Music, Art, Drama, and Cookery clubs, as well as Athletics and Cross Country. An after-school club is available, but there is no breakfast club.
Getting in. The school has 155 pupils in a capacity of 203, leaving 48 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 arrive without a breakfast club? What specific support is available for the 20% who do not reach the higher standard? How does the current class size impact individual attention during lessons?
