We've just moved to London and are doing an in-year admission. Does anyone know anything about these two primary schools? St Vincent's is Outstanding but the Parent View reviews on the OFSTED website aren't very good. (Is Parent View reliable?) On the other hand, St Joseph's is Requires Improvement but has great Parent View ratings (and a new headmaster who supposedly is helping to turn things around, according to the OFSTED inspection report).

Don’t know the school but I have just looked it up. The last Ofsted was 2011 and that was a little one. So really they got their outstanding 10 years ago.
The parenview is pretty damming but it’s based on 11 parents. Could be less with multiple accounts. Could be a few parents trying to force an ofsted inspection.
The school performance tables are average but poor for disadvantaged pupils so the school may be cruising on outside tutoring but this is all guess work. Hopefully someone will be along with personal info.

Thank you, Mary19, for helping me to decipher the Ofsted report! Your input is very helpful.
