What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 5 December 2023

St Joseph's is a community where pupils thrive and feel safe. Leaders at all levels work constantly to improve this exceptional school, prioritising the care and welfare of pupils at all times. All pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), live up to staff's very high expectations. Pupils' behaviour is excellent in classes and around school. They play and learn incredibly well together. The school plans its curriculum, lessons and support to make sure that pupils achieve exceptionally well across all subjects. This is particularly the case in national tests at the end of key stage 2. Pupils also excel in other areas of school life, such as providing a service to others, behaving responsibly, and developing their own talents and interests. The school goes to great lengths to ensure that every pupil has the chance to flourish through leading reflection activities, sporting events or art clubs. They are well known in the community for their involvement in local life. Pupils are keen to be part of the school's celebration of achievement, such as the wall of sporting records held by current and past pupils. They are proud and happy to attend this welcoming school.
