Members of Staff
St Joseph's has an enthusiastic, dedicated and extremely hard-working team of technical staff, numbering more than fifty members (including both full and part-time staff).
It is a very stable staff with many long serving teachers. Most have both academic and pastoral roles, being attached to one of the five year groups as a Form Tutor.
Their work is complimented by an excellent team of skilled secretarial, technical, teaching support, welfare and cleaning staff.
"Teachers' subject knowledge and positive teacher student relationships are strong features"
