Testimonials

Dear Mrs Cribben

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for accepting our kids to St. Joseph's. A primary school that is more than a school. A safe sanctuary for learning with Catholic values. How my children improved over the period of 12 months is a testament to the hard work and professionalism you and the teachers put in every day. Thank you.

Transition From Preschool to St Joseph's Reception Class

For us, I believe we both knew the transition would be very beneficial when we received a call from Mrs Cribben welcoming us to St Joseph’s and informing us about our place!

We then received a letter in the post from the Guardian welcoming her to the school. The Teddy Bears' picnic, the stay-and-play, story time, the Summer Fair and the connection we made with the teaching team during their visit all contributed to this experience.

I must also mention the team at reception, who were great at keeping us informed and answering any questions we had. All of this made for an easy transition as we already felt part of St Joseph’s before the start date.
Particularly the guardians (or maybe it is just our brilliant guardian Nial), but all of it has been beneficial and we are so grateful for the support and care shown.

Past Pupil visit (Ex Student from 1948-1955)

Dear Mrs Cribben, we wanted to thank you for giving up your lunch time to show us round St Joseph's. It was for us a memorable experience: emotional in that it evoked memories reaching back more than seventy years.

All the pupils we met seemed relaxed and confident, welcoming of us and happy with their school. So congratulations to you and your staff, the ptfa and all those involved.
