What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 18 October 2023
St Joseph's is a school once experienced then never forgotten. Leaders have the highest of aspirations for all pupils. Likewise, pupils, staff and families know how precious education is. All care for each other and take pride in their school; an oasis of calm in a busy community. Once you are part of the school, you are part of the St Joseph's family. The pupils sparkle like diamonds with enthusiasm. They are polite, curious and open- minded. Behaviour in classrooms, at playtimes and at lunchtime is highly positive. Pupils know the school rules. The staff are supportive and helpful, both in class and on the playground. Pupils value the rich extra-curricular offer. Clubs are accessible to all. Pupils speak with excitement about the educational visits that they have enjoyed. Visits that link to mathematics and history build on the topics covered in lessons. The staff know and meet the needs of pupils. This allows all pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities, to access a broad and balanced curriculum throughout their time in school.
What the school should improve
- In some foundation subjects, the school's ambitious curriculum is not fully embedded. This means pupils' knowledge in these subjects is not as secure as desired. The school must ensure that the revised plans are fully implemented as intended.
