Our Discover Events offer a highly personalised and immersive experience, ideal for families seeking a closer insight into life at St Joseph’s College. With limited numbers, six individual families can enjoy a personalised tour of the College led by one of our pupils, a one-to-one conversation with the Head, Mrs Stotesbury and the opportunity to explore specialist areas such as LAMDA. Guests will also have the chance to speak directly with our students about their experiences of College life, including opportunities in MUN, sport and our wide-ranging co-curricular programme, gaining an authentic sense of what makes St Joseph’s College special.

In contrast, our Open Events provide a wider overview of the College and are open to a larger audience. These events are ideal for families at an earlier stage of their journey, offering a broad introduction to our academic provision, pastoral care and enrichment opportunities, alongside tours and the chance to meet members of staff and pupils across the school community.
