“What makes St Joseph’s different is the attention to detail, the family atmosphere across all ages and the spiritual worship and values that are promoted in learning. The mix of years on one site is very unique.”

“St Joseph’s has a caring community which shines through in all sorts of ways - e.g. staff seem to know your child (no matter how quiet), they respond to things quickly; occasions like Christmas and Easter concerts are thoughtful and moving; quirks and differences are accepted.”

“What I like most about St Joseph’s is its small size and caring attitude. It’s also run like a business which gives me confidence that the fees are being used wisely and also kept at a reasonable level.”

parent of a pupil at St Joseph’s

“We chose St Joseph’s because of the small class sizes, music, support for middle achievers, emphasis on the whole person not just academic results”
