Is your child starting Reception in September 2025?
Welcome to our school. Located moments from Canvey town centre, our small, welcoming community faith school is perfect for children starting reception in 2025.
Our school’s family feel spans generations. Our children have fantastic, large expansive grounds to play in, and our children love learning to swim in our very own school pool.
We all love our school and know you will, too. If you've not yet considered St Joseph’s for your child, why not come and see for yourself. We are proud to teach children of Christian faiths, other faiths, and those without a faith.
Contact our school office to come and see what makes St Joseph’s a wonderful place to learn and play.
What do Ofsted say?
“In Reception, children are excited about their learning. They love to sing and play. Children get along very well with each other and with the adults who support and care for them”
