"Excellent School and Community"

Our family has been part of the St Joseph's community for 5 years now and we couldn't be happier. The teachers are supportive, the facilities are modern and the values taught align perfectly with our own. The only reason we didn't give it a full 5 is due to the occasional school closure due to inclement weather, but overall we can't recommend it enough.

"Good but Room for Improvement"

We've had our child at St Joseph's for 3 years and while the school has some excellent aspects, there are areas that need work. The teaching is generally good, but some classes can be a bit disorganized. The headteacher and staff are responsive to parent concerns, which is a plus. Overall, it's a good choice for families in Pontefract, but don't expect perfection.
