## Recent parent reviews

- **5/5** — A warm and welcoming school!: I've been thoroughly impressed with St Joseph's since my daughter started in Year 1. The teachers are kind and supportive, and the facilities are excellent. My daughter loves the daily prayers and the sense of community is really special. We feel so lucky to have found this school. *(Sep 2022)*
- **5/5** — A fantastic school with a great ethos: We've been part of the St Joseph's community for 6 years and have had a wonderful experience. The school's values of 'work hard, love tenderly, walk humbly' really shine through in everything they do. My son is in Year 6 now and is thriving - thanks to the outstanding teachers and support staff. *(Jul 2022)*
- **4/5** — A solid school with room for improvement: My son attended St Joseph's from Reception to Year 2, and while we had some great experiences, there were also some things that didn't quite live up to our expectations. The teachers were generally lovely, but some classes felt a bit disorganized. That being said, the school's Catholic ethos was a real strength and my son loved the daily prayers and collective worship. *(Jun 2020)*
