Muddy Stilettos reviews St Joseph’s College! We were thrilled to host the team from Muddy Stilettos in November for an exclusive tour of our Prep and Senior school. They’ve featured us in their prestigious Best Schools Guide, see link below.
We are immensely proud to be recognised for our educational standards, co-curricular activities and our commitment to fostering a nurturing and engaging learning environment with excellent pastoral care.
Muddy Stilettos writes: “The numbers are small for an all-through school – 600, with 160 across Pre-Reception to Y6. This former convent school was founded by the Sisters of St Marie Madeleine Postel to educate girls, but went fully co-ed in 2010, changed its name and made the bold decision to reduce its fees by 17%. Yes, you heard me, the fees went down – you’ll struggle to find this kind of value anywhere else in Reading or anywhere else in Berkshire”.
THE MUDDY VERDICT FOR PREP
GOOD FOR: Those looking for a quality all-round education where academic standards and wellbeing sit in perfect harmony. There’s a lot to like about the focus on being real world ready – independent, caring, well-rounded individuals.
NOT FOR: If you’re looking for an academic hot house, fresh out the box facilities and acres of playing fields, then St Joseph’s isn’t the place for you.
DARE TO DISAGREE? Have a look for yourself: Prep School Open Morning (The Acorn Centre – Y6) ~ Thu 1 Feb 2024 and Thu 2 May 2024 (9.30am – 11am). Stay & Play for pre-school children – Fri 9 Feb 2024 and Wed 17 Apr 2024 (9.30am – 11am).
THE MUDDY VERDICT FOR SENIOR
GOOD FOR: An all-round education focused on getting the boys and girls ready for the world. If you want your child to be independent, caring, well-rounded, then this is the place for you.
NOT FOR: If you’re looking for an academic hot house, stonking acreage, or boarding options, then St Joseph’s isn’t the place for you.
DARE TO DISAGREE? Have a look for yourself: Y7-Y10 Open Morning Wed 7 Feb 2024 and Wed 24 Apr 2024, 9.30am-11.15am.
