Why Choose St Joseph's Catholic Primary School and Nursery?

We could tell you how loving, fun and thoroughly amazing our school is, but it's better to let you hear it from others... 

Our current parents/carers say:

• St Joseph’s is such a lovely school community!
• We love the smaller class sizes and how much attention the teachers are able to give each child.
• It’s a lovely little school with a real sense of us being part of a wider school family.
• The staff are so warm and welcoming, and have created an environment where our children are really thriving.
• A smaller school allows me to openly and effectively communicate with staff without the worry my child’s needs are getting lost.
