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

We're a highly successful, non-denominational, 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 and girls from age 3, going from nursery through the early years, junior department and into the senior school, we are in the process of becoming fully co-educational by 2014.

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.

We have been very busy with registrations for September 2012, with certain year groups nearing or at capacity. If you are considering an independent education for your child please contact us to arrange a visit as soon as possible to avoid disappointment. Registrations are also being taken for September 2013.

Do have a look round the site and please feel free to contact us if you have any queries or if you would like to arrange an appointment to view the school.
