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 students' learning experiences and foster 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 just what modern parents seek: 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.
