Love one another as I have loved you John 13:34-35 St Josephs Infant School and St Josephs CE Junior are two schools in the heart of Chichester. We are proud to serve our community as schools who are passionate about seeing every child flourish.
The staff teams work together to get to know every child and to provide the very best education in our unique setting as two schools, within one site.
This allows us to provide specialist early years and infant education and a specialist junior education, whilst providing a seamless transition between the two schools - supporting, caring for and inspiring children from age 2-11. St Josephs Infant School and St Josephs CE Junior School are part of the Diocese of Chichester Academy Trust family of schools.
