St Joseph the Worker RC Primary School

School overview

St Joseph the Worker RC Primary School is a primary school serving Salford, Salford, classified by the DfE as a voluntary aided school with a Roman Catholic religious character. It has 212 pupils aged 3 to 11 on roll. 54% of its pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths at the end of Key Stage 2, below the national average (national figure: 61%). The proportion reaching the expected standard has fallen by 4.0 percentage points compared with the previous year. On our composite score, which combines the DfE attainment measures above, this places it in the lower half of primary schools nationally.

Pupils achieved an average scaled score of 103 in reading and 100 in maths (national averages are about 105 and 104). 7% reached the higher standard across all three subjects (around 8% do so nationally). The school serves a community with above-average levels of disadvantage: about 42% 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 Joseph the Worker RC 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.
