## Recent parent reviews

- **5/5** — A wonderful community-focused school: We have been at St Joseph's for 3 years and I couldn't be happier.

The teachers are knowledgeable and enthusiastic, and the school's values of kindness, respect and compassion are truly embedded in the curriculum. *(Feb 2022)*
- **4/5** — Excellent education, could improve on communication: We moved our child to St Joseph's from another school and we are pleased with the academic progress they made. However, we sometimes found the communication from the school to be a bit patchy, particularly when it came to important events or changes. *(Jun 2021)*
