Broad, Creative, Ambitious
Welcome to St Joseph's School & Nursery,
nestled in the ancient Cotswold town of Malmesbury.
A village school, in the heart of Malmesbury
Academic Ambition
Experience our new curriculum from September 2026 - inspired by classical 'liberal arts' - to challenge and inspire children, and provide a strong foundation for personal growth and future success.
Enriching Extracurricular
Explore a diverse range of after school clubs that enrich children's learning. From Italian Club, to Netball, Art, Board Games and Choir, our offering fosters personal development, creativity, and teamwork.
Nursery to Year 6
St Joseph's boasts a state-of-the-art Nursery School for children aged from 2 years. We provide continuity of education until the end of Year 6 (ages 2- 11).
Welcome to St. Joseph’s School & Nursery
St. Joseph’s is an ambitious school where the children are given the opportunity to flourish, first and foremost, as human beings.
We offer a small-scale, personalised learning environment, where every child is known.
The school was founded in 1868 and moved to its current site in Malmesbury in 1932. It’s got the feeling of a village school, yet is only a stone’s throw from the heart of the town centre with its historic market, cafes and beautiful, Romanesque Abbey.
Alongside high academic aspirations, modern ‘millennial’ parents (of which I am one) are seeking out schools which educate the whole person and nurture creativity, cultivate social awareness and give opportunities for collaboration.
St Joseph’s children are happy in heart, mind and spirit.
I hope you’ll come and see us.
