St Joseph's College (formerly St Joseph's Convent School) is a coeducational private day school in Reading, Berkshire, England. In September 2010, it changed its name to St Joseph's College to reflect the move into co-education from being a girls' school. The junior section is known as St Joseph's College Preparatory School. It was a member of the Girls' Schools Association until the move into coeducation. The College is now a member of the Society of Heads, Independent Schools Council and Catholic Independent Schools’ Council. It won the TES Independent School of the Year award in November 2015.
