"Some Positives, Some Negatives"

My child has been at St Joseph's for a year now, and while there have been some lovely moments (the Christmas nativity was amazing!), there are also some areas for improvement. The school's commitment to Gospel values is wonderful, but sometimes I feel like there's a lack of communication with parents.

"An Absolutely Wonderful School!"

I've been so impressed with St Joseph's since my child started. The staff are lovely, the facilities are amazing, and the values they're teaching are just what I want for my child. The pirate ship in the playground is a definite highlight!
