St Joseph's Roman Catholic Primary School, Hurst Green
Clitheroe, BB7 9QJ · Lancashire · primary school
147th of 448 primary schools in Lancashire we can score, 481 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 1,912 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 3.8/10 among them, against 6.2/10 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
| Measure | Percentile | Weight | Adds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 71.0 · 68 | 40% | 2.73 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 7.0 · 51 | 25% | 1.27 |
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, 71.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 7.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in June 2024. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 3.8 out of 10 among them, against 6.2 out of 10 nationally.
Beyond the classroom. Pupils join a Gymnastics Club, try Rugby, and participate in KS2 Cross Country and Go Velo Cycling. Arts include a Glockenspiel concert, a Ukulele Concert, and a Snow White production. Trips range from an EYFS visit to It’s My Party and Clitheroe Castle to a Year 5/6 visit to the Jesuit Centre in London and Tatton Park. There is no breakfast or after-school club.
Getting in. The school has 110 pupils in a capacity of 120, leaving 10 spare places. The school has a little room, but is fairly full.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who do not reach the higher standard? What provision exists for children arriving late or leaving early, given the lack of wraparound care? How does the curriculum prepare pupils for the transition to secondary school?
