## Recent parent reviews

- **4/5** — Happy and secure environment: My little one started at St Joseph's in the autumn term and settled in quickly. The staff are warm and welcoming, and the school's efforts to promote a happy and secure environment for the children are really apparent. The nursery facilities are excellent, and we've been impressed with the quality of the teaching and care. *(Dec 2022)*
- **5/5** — Wonderful school and values: My children have been at St Joseph's for 3 years and we couldn't be happier. The school's Catholic values and emphasis on kindness, empathy and respect towards all are truly inspiring. The staff are caring and supportive, and the facilities are excellent, especially the playground and sports hall. Highly recommend! *(Sep 2022)*
- **5/5** — Great school, wonderful teachers: We've been at St Joseph's for 2 years now and have had a fantastic experience. The teachers are passionate, knowledgeable and really care about the children's progress. My child loves attending school and can't wait to go back every day. The school's commitment to keeping children safe and healthy is also reassuring. *(Jun 2022)*
- **4/5** — Some positives, but communication could be better: We moved our child to a different school, but I still have fond memories of our time at St Joseph's. The school's strengths include its friendly atmosphere, good facilities and engaging teachers. However, we sometimes felt that communication between the school and parents could be improved, especially about school events and issues. *(Aug 2021)*
