Here at St Jo's, we pride ourselves on the individual story of our students. We measure success not by numbers, but by their personal achievements as they strive to climb their Everest.

It is moments like today, as our students receive their GCSE results, that our community shines. Everybody's success is celebrated and our school, staff and parents share in the glory of each and every student.

Well done to all of our Year 11 students, we wish you the very best as you embark on your journey into Sixth Form.

Today we celebrate the achievements of our GCSE students not simply for the grades they have achieved, but the progress, determination and personal journeys behind them.

Our students join us with a broad range of abilities, ambitions and starting points. Our measure of success is therefore focused on knowing every student, nurturing their potential and supporting them to achieve their personal best.

This year our students attained 16 percentage points above the national average in Mathematics at Grade 4 and above, and 17 percentage points above the national average in English at Grade 4 and above.

Particular subjects where our students have flourished are Fine Art, Biology, History and Spanish.

We are immensely proud of all our Year 11 students. From GCSE success to the next chapter, our students have the confidence, continuity and support to keep moving forward.

Reflections from our Head Boy Henry, on his memories, friendships and achievements that have shaped his time at St Josephs's College.

For our boarding community, the experience extends far beyond the classroom. Boarding at St Jo's is more than a home away from home; it becomes a family.

The St Jo's boarding house is a place where every student is known, valued and encouraged. It is a community that see what is special in every individual, nurtures their strengths and gives them the confidence to flourish.

We are delighted that Henry will begin his next chapter at York University where he will be studying History.

Good luck, Henry. We wish you every success.

A remarkable talent, ready for an extraordinary future.

With breathtaking attention to detail and commitment to his craft, Andy has achieved A*A*A in his A-level results. The work that he has created speaks for itself during his time at St Jo's, and we feel privileged to have watched him progress within our Art Department.

As an international student studying in a non-native language, Andy's achievements are even more remarkable and a true reflection of his talent, resilience and dedication.

Andy now heads to University of the Arts London to study Fine Art. We have no doubt that this is just the beginning of an incredible creative journey.
