The School Improvement Plan
The School Improvement Plan outlines what we focus on to make St Joseph’s a better place for learning. Our school is already a special place to be but everyone in school works really hard to continue to make improvements. Each year, all the staff and Governors decide on what areas need to be focused on during the year and then plans are put in place to bring about those improvements.
Our five main areas:
|

Focused Priority |
To enhance the provision of a broad and balanced curriculum across the school through the development of subject leaders |

To maintain the outstanding status of the Foundation Stage as a starting point for learning at St Joseph’s |
|

In February 2019, we were inspected under Section 48 of the Education Act 2005 for our Religious Education and Catholic Life. We were graded outstanding in all nine areas. We are extremely pleased with this and will continue to make St Joseph's a great place for learning.
