- **5/5** — A wonderful school experience: My daughter has been at St Joseph's for 2 years now and we've had a fantastic time. The staff are supportive, the facilities are excellent and the values they instill in the children are top-notch. We've seen her grow in confidence and ability, thanks to the wonderful teachers and care provided. *(Sep 2022)*
- **4/5** — Some good, some mixed experiences: We've had a mixed experience at St Joseph's. On the one hand, the teachers are mostly very good and the facilities are excellent. However, we've had some issues with communication and organisation, which has caused a bit of stress for us. We hope things improve as our child moves through the school. *(Aug 2022)*
