St Joseph's is a large and popular inner city school serving a culturally diverse community. Almost all pupils are baptised Catholics. The largest groups include pupils from White British and Black African backgrounds. A high proportion of pupils speak English in addition to their home language, although only a few are at the earliest stages of learning English. The social backgrounds of pupils are very wide ranging however, overall, significant deprivation is evident. An average proportion of pupils has learning difficulties. The school was recognised as a 'Beacon School' between 2002 and 2003 and has gained the 'Healthy Schools' award. In April 2006 a fire destroyed much of the accommodation, which is currently under reconstruction.
