As Principal of St Joseph’s College Ipswich, I have almost grown accustomed to being proud: proud of our delightful, funny, clever students, of our inspired and inspirational teachers, of our sporting and cultural successes, and of our ethos of kindness. The responsibilities of headship are certainly considerable but my job is a daily delight.
St Joseph’s holds Aspiration, Respect and Confidence as core values and all three came to the fore as the Covid-19 pandemic arrived. We were fully prepared for lockdown and I was fiercely proud as we switched from physical to online lessons, losing not a single hour of teaching time. Full timetables were maintained throughout the summer term and students are now back on our beautiful campus and thriving If you want to share in our pride, do visit us online at www.stjos.co.uk, and take up a place at one of our virtual events for prospective families.

“Although 2020 has been a difficult year, on reflection it has been a time when the Littlegarth School community has worked even more closely to get the very best out of each other. This resolve to support each other has been even more evident as we begin 2021 and return to a further developed online learning experience as a consequence of the most recent COVID lockdown,
“It has been such a privilege to work with a team whose members always place the needs of the children first, however much extra work might be entailed. New innovations have enabled the children to have a magnificent learning experience and I have no doubt that the School will continue to thrive in 2021.
“Thank you to the entire Littlegarth School family for all your hard work and support!”
