Testimonials
First of all I’d like to say a big thank you to St Joseph’s for inviting Lashings back again. Participating in the charity cricket match with St. Joseph’s school last year was an incredibly rewarding experience. Not only did we get to showcase our cricketing skills, but we saw a lot of fine young cricketers showing their skills too.
Balancing my career in football with my studies has been a challenge, but it is my desire to achieve in both that keeps me grounded. My ambition is to achieve a successful career in football, but I know this will probably have a limited time span and that I will need a good set of results to rely on. With a selection of extracurricular activities, professional development programmes and committed faculty members including the sports department, sixth form staff as well as my A-level subject teachers, the College has established a supportive environment that fosters my academic and personal growth.
‘We have seen Carys grow in every way. She has flourished in the welcoming atmosphere of St Jo’s. The close relationship between students and teaching staff is what makes the difference here. We think that’s why she blossomed – St Jo’s brought out the best in her.’
