"I just wanted to say a huge congratulations to you and all of the staff. I think you must be the most outstanding "good" school about!
I know that you do not do what you do just to please Ofsted, but I am glad that the team gave you a report that reflects your hard work and the difference you make. It just jumps off the page! I am delighted for you all. Thank you so much for what you do for my child" - Year 2 Parent
"I thought it was well organised and fun. I enjoyed the whole experience and I learnt a lot too!" - Year 1 parent following a Parent/ child literacy workshop in school
"It was a delight to see how the lunchtime staff foster the reception children’s independence. It was a pleasure to sit with the children and hear how they are praised for using their manners". - Reception parent attending family lunch.

"I love St. Joseph’s!" – Parent
"I found myself sitting in assembly this morning and really looking at what a prospective parent of St. Joseph’s would think. What I saw was a room full of happy, nurtured, smart children. You could see how hard all the staff and children work and I sat there feeling hugely proud of our school." – Parent of children in reception and Y5.
