"Good school but some communication issues"
We've been relatively happy with St Joseph's so far, but I do feel that communication with the teaching staff could be improved. My child has had a great time in Year 2, but I've had to chase up a few issues with their work and homework. Still, I think the school has a lot of positives to offer.

My children thrived at St Joseph's during their time there. The school's focus on Christian values and community is really special and I think it has a positive impact on the children's development. The staff are also very supportive.

"Year 3 had an amazing experience in Roman Britain!"
I was so impressed with the school trip to Murton Park - the children were absolutely buzzing when they got back and couldn't stop talking about it. The staff did a fantastic job of bringing the history topic to life. Thanks St Joseph's!
