RE Inspection

The Infant School was last inspected by the Diocese in March 2017. We were judged to be an OUTSTANDING school.

St Joseph’s is a welcoming and nurturing school where a strong sense of family is clearly evident. The Catholic character and ethos are at the centre of the school and strongly reflect the school’s commitment to Gospel values rooted in the community.

Religious Education is at the heart of the school community. The pupils are involved in interesting activities which motivate and engage them and ensure that they enjoy their lessons and make good progress.

Prayer is at the heart of the school community and has a significant impact on pupils, parents and all those who take part because of the range and variety of prayer opportunities that are available.


We are proud and delighted to be able to announce that the Junior School was judged to be ‘OUTSTANDING’ in our recent Religious Education inspection by the Diocese. (see full report by clicking on the link below).

Thank you to all parents, staff, governors and of course pupils for helping to make St Joseph’s Juniors, in the words of the inspector ‘a unique and special community.’

‘This is a joyous, cohesive school community where everyone involved displays the highest expectations for pupils in terms of personal, spiritual and academic development’.
