## Recent parent reviews

- **4/5** — 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. *(Nov 2022)*
- **5/5** — 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! *(Sep 2022)*
- **4/5** — A Delightful School Experience: I've been really pleased with St Joseph's so far. The teachers are enthusiastic and engaging, and the school's facilities are top-notch. My child loves the sports hall and the playground equipment, and I love the sense of community. *(Feb 2022)*
- **5/5** — A Great School with a Heart of Gold: My child attended St Joseph's for their entire primary education and I couldn't be happier with the experience. The staff are dedicated and caring, and the school's focus on Gospel values has had a profound impact on my child's character. *(Jun 2021)*
