St Joseph the Worker Catholic Primary School

Hutton, CM13 1BJ · Essex · primary school

Mixed Primary Roman Catholic
6.2/10 Broadly average

131st of 391 primary schools in Essex we can score, 444 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 3,583 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 4.6/10 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
MeasurePercentileWeightAdds
Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 77.0 · 82 62% 5.04
Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 3.0 · 29 38% 1.13

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, 77.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 3.0% reached the higher standard. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 4.6 out of 10 among them, against 6.2 out of 10 nationally.

Beyond the classroom. Pupils join Choir, Dance, and Gardening clubs, play Netball, Cricket, and seasonal games, and can attend both a breakfast club and an after-school club.

Getting in. The school has 205 pupils in a capacity of 210, leaving 5 spare places. With so few vacancies, places are likely to be competitive for new applicants.

Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who are not yet meeting the expected standard in maths? What specific activities take place during the after-school club? How does the school manage the transition for new starters given the limited number of available places?
