St. Joseph’s Park Hill has a distinctive ethos shaped by Christian principles from within the Roman Catholic Tradition.  The school is committed to providing equal opportunities to prospective and existing pupils regardless of race, gender, sexual orientation, ethnicity or belief.  Further, the school aims to ensure equality of access to those with disability and related conditions.

Children are admitted to the school from the age of 3, usually in September but it is possible for a child to be admitted during the school year if a place is available.

Admission is by interview between the Headteacher and the parents, and where the child is attending another school a “taster” day is arranged to ascertain the compatibility of the child with the class.  A registration fee of £100 is payable on application for admission.
