With you the whole way

St Joseph’s in Reading offers an independent co-educational journey from ages 3-18, where every child is known as an individual.

Here at St Joseph’s we believe that a well-rounded education is the highest achievement; an education that values creativity, kindness and expression as highly as academic results. We provide an education that brings out each student’s flair and talent, so that they develop a passion for learning and gain confidence to succeed in a way unique to them.

We are proud of our welcoming and inclusive family environment; a school committed to independent education being within reach of as many families as possible, without compromise. We strive to manage our costs to maintain fees below the market rate and we are genuinely committed to providing the very best for our students without creating an “elitist” environment. Our students encourage and look after each other; guided by Catholic Christian values that are embraced by families of all faiths and backgrounds.

Most importantly, St Joseph’s will equip your child with the skills, self-worth and education to step confidently into an ever-changing and challenging world.
