Mount St Joseph School is a mixed Roman Catholic secondary school in Farnworth, Greater Manchester, England.[1]
Mount St Joseph School was established in 1902 by the Sisters of the Cross and Passion. After World War II it became a direct grant grammar school and was converted to a comprehensive school by the early 1980s. The school was awarded Business and Enterprise College status in the early 2000s and was renamed Mount St Joseph Business & Enterprise College for a time.
Today Mount St Joseph is a voluntary aided school administered by Bolton Metropolitan Borough Council and the Roman Catholic Diocese of Salford. The school offers GCSEs, BTECs and NVQs as programmes of study for pupils.
