Summer term is progressing apace with general delight that we have been able to reconnect with our students on campus, welcomed many newcomers and safely launched back into the seasonal highlights – assessments, sports days, prize-giving ceremonies and charity events – with our exciting Arts and Cricket festival weeks fast approaching.
During lockdown we continued to deliver the full academic timetable via online platforms, both nationally and internationally, supporting academic progress for every individual through outstanding, live and interactive online teaching.
Our adaptable students returned to campus armed with greater IT skills and understanding; skills now being deployed as they work in class across the College. The resumption of children's joyful laughter at break times is music to all our ears.
If you are considering St Joseph’s College for your family, there are plenty of ways to find out more. The Admissions team is on hand to guide you through the process and we continue with our planned application and scholarship assessment procedures, albeit using virtual platforms. Personal family visits can be arranged, but before you come do explore our campus with our virtual tours (click here). Our admissions team is on hand to answer any questions: admissions@stjos.co.uk
Whilst these remain challenging times for everyone, taking care of our community is a key part of what makes St Joseph’s very special. All of our staff, especially the pastoral team, including our College nurse and College counsellor, are available to offer advice that parents may find useful. Find out more here.
With warm regards,

St Joseph's College Nursery & Reception excels in every area, enabling children to progress ahead of their age.
Dedicated. Effective. Secure. Happy. All describe the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) provision at St Joseph's, where children get an excellent start to their education and development.
See MoreWillingness to challenge convention is central to our approach to education.
The stunning visual impact of the purpose-built and award-winning Prep School buildings reveals a College that is not afraid of new thinking sitting alongside established wisdom pioneering educational resources and practices thrive in a nurturing family environment.
See MoreWe believe that education is more than just a rigid recipe. It should be a personal journey, shaped around the individual needs of every child.
Students at St Joseph's College are not on a conveyor belt propelling them towards exams and then university in a predictable, unimaginative way. We would like them, in the words of the Hon. Gwendolen Fairfax, "to develop in many directions".
See MoreYou don't have to have spent your whole school life here to join our vibrant and challenging Sixth Form.
The Sixth Form is such a critical stage in educational development that it makes sense to study somewhere with the facilities, the culture and the focus to help you perform to your best – where you are known as an individual and not just as a potential examination grade.
See MoreBoarding at St Joseph's encourages independence and provides the opportunity to really squeeze the most out of every minute of every day.
The facilities we offer to our boarding students enable them to enjoy their lives at school to the full resulting in both impressive exam results and outstanding performances in sports and the arts.
