Welcome to the website of our college. Choosing the right school is one of the most important decisions you will make, and I want to share why St Joseph’s should be your first choice.
Our vision is clear: to provide an inclusive and supportive learning environment where every pupil has equal opportunities to thrive. We aim to develop the skills and capabilities of our students so they can contribute positively to their community, future employment, and society. Our broad and balanced curriculum fosters respect, kindness, and truth, ensuring every child feels valued and empowered to reach their full potential.
This year, we celebrated our best-ever GCSE results, with 75% of pupils achieving five or more GCSEs including English and Maths. Our enrolment now exceeds 500 students, giving us the benefits of choice and opportunity while remaining small enough to know every child by name. Here, your child will never feel lost in the crowd.
We offer three distinct pathways—academic, vocational, and blended—ensuring progression and success for all learners. Beyond the classroom, our preventative curriculum and rich extra-curricular programme nurture leadership, creativity, and wellbeing. Every pupil is encouraged to discover their talents and grow in confidence.
Our Catholic ethos underpins everything we do, fostering respect, kindness, and integrity. Safeguarding is our top priority—your child’s safety and happiness come first. We are proud to be an Apple Distinguished School, with over a decade of experience embedding technology into teaching and learning. This means our pupils are equipped with the digital skills essential for future success.
What truly sets us apart is the quality of teaching, the care, and the relationships. At St Joseph’s, we know every child. We care about every child. And that makes all the difference—especially during adolescence when young people need support the most.
Our values guide us every day:
INSPIRE – Inclusivity, Nurturing Support, Shared Respect, Personal Growth, Integrity, Readiness for the Future, Empathy & Kindness.
When you choose St Joseph’s, you choose a school that combines academic excellence, personal growth, and genuine care. We don’t just prepare pupils for exams—we prepare them for life.
I invite you to explore our website, visit our school, and see for yourself why St Joseph’s College is the right choice for your child.
Warm regards,
Mrs Ciara Donnelly
Acting Principal
