St Joseph's College
School summary
St Joseph's College is an independent, fee-charging school in Ipswich, taking pupils from the age of 11. With around 577 pupils on roll, it sits comfortably in the medium-size band, large enough to offer breadth yet small enough to remain a recognisable community. The school has no religious character, which may appeal to families seeking an independent education without a particular faith ethos.

Watch Passmate decide how to teach.
Answer as a child would. Left: what they see. Right: what it learns about them.
A medium-sized independent option in the heart of Ipswich, suited to families looking for a non-denominational school with selective entry at 11.
That’s where Passmate comes in. Tutoring is the most effective thing in a child’s preparation - a well-tutored child can outperform the vast majority of their peers. Passmate works alongside your tutor, not instead of them: it learns how your child thinks, finds the gaps, and shows the tutor exactly where to spend each session - so the limited time you have lands on what actually decides a place.
Works alongside your child’s tutor - not instead of them.
