## Recent parent reviews

- **5/5** — A fantastic education and caring staff: We sent our two children to St Joseph's and had a truly positive experience. The school's Catholic values and ethos were a perfect fit for our family, and the staff were always supportive and encouraging. The teachers are dedicated and passionate about their subjects, and our children thrived under their care. *(Jan 2023)*
- **4/5** — A great school with some areas for improvement: We're generally really happy with St Joseph's, but there are a few things that could be improved. The school meals could be more varied, and we'd like to see more opportunities for extracurricular activities. However, the teachers are great, and our child is learning a lot. We're hoping that these issues will be addressed soon. *(Nov 2022)*
- **5/5** — A wonderful school community!: We've been part of the St Joseph's community for 7 years now, and it's been an absolute pleasure. The school's emphasis on faith, kindness, and hard work has really made a difference to our child. The facilities are great, and the teachers are always approachable and supportive. We couldn't be happier with our choice! *(Sep 2022)*
