Welcome to the website for St Joseph's School, Launceston, Cornwall 

We're a highly successful, non-selective private day school in the South West of England; we combine a broad, challenging and high-quality education with excellent pastoral care and extra-curricular opportunity. As a result, we take great pride in our young people and what we help them to achieve, and they develop into confident, well-mannered and responsible individuals who respect others, the school and their environment.

We welcome boys aged 3-11 and girls aged 3-16, going from nursery through the early years, junior department and into the senior school. From September 2010, we'll be accepting boys up to 16 and, shortly after, we're opening a sixth form for young men as well as young women.

We measure the success of what we do not just in academic achievement - although results in the national tests at 7, 11 and GCSE are well above national averages - but in the atmosphere we foster, the care we take of each child and the opportunities we extend to all. Our aim is to educate the pupil in the broadest sense, offering a firm foundation for life, a challenging but safe environment and a strong community spirit.
