developments

St Joseph’s School is delighted to tell you about our exciting and ambitious proposals currently being planned for the school; plans to not only improve the quality of what we currently offer, but to extend that quality to a greater number of pupils than ever before.

From September 2010 boys will be accepted into Year 7 for the first time and, in the future it is our intention that a brand new Sixth Form will start accepting students, too. These changes are part of a major re-development plan currently being looked at by the school as well as new buildings and an extension, a new sports field and sports pavilion, new tennis courts, school kitchens and restaurant, and a car park to cater for roughly 60 cars are being planned. (Subject to relevant planning permissions).

St Joseph's is thrilled by what these intended plans mean, not just for the school itself but, more broadly, for the community as a whole. The familiar and recurrent problems of parking and congestion in the St Stephens Hill area will be eased, and the school also intends to share our brand new sports facilities both with local people and neighbouring schools.

Over and above the facilities in place to include boys there will be scope to add numbers to the roll generally. The quality of experience for all pupils will increase too, thanks to an all round improvement in facilities, to a better environment for sports and recreation, and to dedicated drama spaces. (And the Sixth Form will offer an unprecedented continuity in education, too, from the age of 3 all the way to 18 ...) As you can imagine, this has been -and will continue to be - a time of great excitement and change.
