## Recent parent reviews

- **4/5** — Good School, Room for Improvement: We've been at St Joseph's for two years and while it's been a good experience overall, I think the school could do more to engage with parents and communicate about important events and changes. Our child's teacher, Mr. Thompson, is great and the school's extracurricular activities are good, but the school's parking situation is a nightmare during drop-off and pick-up times. *(Dec 2025)*
- **5/5** — Excellent School for Our Children: My children have been attending St Joseph's for three years now and we've seen a huge improvement in their confidence and academic abilities. The teachers are supportive and knowledgeable, especially Mrs. Johnson in year 3. The school's facilities are also excellent, especially the new playground which the children love. *(Sep 2025)*
