Welcome to St Joseph's Catholic Primary School
What our parents say:
"The atmosphere at St Joseph's is calm and caring and our son is very happy there. We like the high ratio of teachers to pupils; our son gets lots of individual attention. The facilities are great - there is a large playground with adventure play equipment, a pond and a wonderful pirate ship for the children to climb on and develop their imaginations. The recently introduced 'creative curriculum' really helps to motivate the children. Our son now starts conversations about the work he is doing in school" Mr and Mrs Gordon
What our children say:
"My favourite thing's P.E. because I really like sports. The Pirate Ship's great. In Numeracy it's fun because I like learning about numbers." Nikhil, aged 6
What Ofsted says:
"The headteacher provides good leadership to ensure a strong, caring ethos where pupils become confident, happy learners...Pupils' personal development and well-being is good. Pupils enjoy school, have good attitudes to work and, through the school council, feel they have a good say in improving the school environment." Ofsted 2007
What the Diocesan inspector said:
"St Joseph's is a good school with outstanding features such as the quality of leadership and the care of pupils. It is truly a place where all work hard to develop a sense of community through prayer...It is a warm, happy and welcoming school." Diocesan Inspection 2008
