## About

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.
