St Josephs Catholic Primary School at a glance

Located in London, Camden, St Josephs Catholic Primary School is a primary school, classified by the DfE as a voluntary aided school with a Catholic religious character. The school educates roughly 148 pupils aged 3 to 11. 77% of its pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths at the end of Key Stage 2, well above the national average (national figure: 61%). The proportion reaching the expected standard has risen by 12.0 percentage points year on year, though small year groups can make these figures swing sharply from year to year. On our composite score, which combines the DfE attainment measures above, this places it in the top 26% of primary schools nationally.

Pupils achieved an average scaled score of 110 in reading and 110 in maths (national averages are about 105 and 104). 9% reached the higher standard across all three subjects (around 8% do so nationally). Getting a place is straightforward: for the September 2026 intake every family who made St Josephs Catholic Primary School their first choice was offered one of its 18 Reception places. Overall pupil absence was 7.8%. There are about 21.1 pupils per teacher. The school serves a community with above-average levels of disadvantage: about 56% of pupils have been eligible for free school meals in the last six years, compared with roughly 24% nationally — useful context when reading the results above. St Josephs Catholic Primary School does not currently have a recent graded Ofsted judgement on record (often the case for newer or recently converted schools), so it is worth asking when its next inspection is expected.
