## Recent parent reviews

- **4/5** — 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. *(May 2023)*
- **5/5** — Lovely community and great values: 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. *(Feb 2023)*
- **5/5** — 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! *(Dec 2022)*
- **5/5** — Excellent school with wonderful facilities!: We've been at St Joseph's for 2 years now and I'm so impressed with the school's facilities. The open green spaces are perfect for the kids to play and learn, and the staff are always friendly and approachable. *(Sep 2022)*
