About the school
St Joseph’s is a well-established and nurturing Catholic primary school serving the Catholic parishes of Malmesbury, Tetbury and Cirencester. The majority of pupils are non-Catholic and drawn from Malmesbury and the surrounding area. The school, while in the town, has the atmosphere of a warm and nurturing village school. There is wrap-around care, a beautiful site stretching down to the river and a recent Ofsted (March 2023) which judged the school to be good.
Malmesbury is a growing community with a programme of house-building which, it is hoped, will counter a falling birth-rate.
The school is popular with parents and well supported by the PFA. The staff have a range of experience with some who have been at the school for many years and others who are at an early stage in their careers. The governing body has been replaced with an Interim Executive Board but it is anticipated this will revert in the near future to a traditional model of governance.
