## Recent parent reviews

- **4/5** — Some Positives, Some Negatives: My child is in Reception and we're generally happy with their experience so far. The nursery is well-organised and the teachers are friendly, but we've had some issues with communication and the school's approach to special needs support. Overall, it's an okay school, but we'll see how it goes. *(Feb 2023)*
- **5/5** — A Great Place to Learn and Grow: My children have attended St Joseph's for 4 years now and we've had a fantastic experience. The school's Catholic values and commitment to academic excellence are truly inspiring. The facilities are excellent, especially the playground and sports hall. *(Sep 2022)*
- **5/5** — A School That Truly Cares: We moved to a different area and were sad to leave St Joseph's but we're grateful for the experience. The staff are dedicated and caring, and the school's focus on faith and community is outstanding. My child still talks about the wonderful memories they made here. *(Jul 2021)*
