About St Joseph's Catholic Primary Academy

St Joseph’s is a one-form entry primary school for pupils aged 4 to 11 years. The Governors, Staff and Parents form a committed and valuable community partnership in which we all play an active part in our children’s education. We believe that through this, children not only develop academically, but grow as confident, independent individuals and so have the best grounding for life.

"A Great Learning Environment"

We've been at St Joseph's for 3 years and we couldn't be happier. The teachers are supportive and the facilities are excellent. Our child loves learning about the Gospel Values and it's wonderful to see them grow into confident individuals.

"Memorable Years at St Joseph's"

We have fond memories of our time at St Joseph's. The school's commitment to its values and community is something to be proud of. Although our child has moved on, we still feel connected to the school and its community.

"Mixed Experience"

St Joseph's has its strengths, but we've had some issues with communication between teachers and parents. The facilities are modern and the teachers are generally supportive, but we've noticed some inconsistencies in the way the Gospel Values are implemented.
