Our Catholic ethos is strong, though being a Catholic is not essential.
'St Joseph's is a calm and nurturing place to learn. Pupils are happy and enjoy school. Pupils are courteous and respectful towards their peers and adults. They have strong relationships with adults, which helps them to feel safe. Pupils focus well in lessons. Pupils benefit from the leadership opportunities available... this helps them to play an important part in their school community. The school has a strong, aspirational vision to ensure that it prepares pupils well for their next stage of education.' Ofsted June 2024
Our school is unique! Our staff teach a foundation subject from Year 2 to Year 6. This reduces the amount of subject knowledge needed to teach 11 subjects across the curriculum. Staff love this way of learning as they can see clear progression and they have complete control of their resources cupboard!
