Outstanding
I am extremely proud of St Joseph’s Catholic Primary School, which is a welcoming and inclusive school, highly regarded by the families that choose it for their child’s primary education. It is also delightful to highlight below some of the recent findings made by both the Catholic Schools Inspectorate, which considered our school ‘Outstanding’, and Ofsted. So if you are looking for a school for your child, contact the school to arrange a visit and see the school in action! Fr Peter Murphy, Parish priest.
