In September 2010, it changed its name to St Joseph's College to reflect the move into co-education from being a girls' school.

[1] St Joseph’s Convent School was founded in Bracknell 1894, later relocated to Castle Hill as the population reached 40 pupils.

Reaching the boarding capacity by 1908, the Sisters sought the location of the Broad Oak House on the Upper Redlands Road.

[2] Throughout the years, extensions were built by the side of the Broad Oak House, including a much-needed Chapel, Hall, Gymnasium and classrooms.

In 1947 St Georges Hall on Christchurch Road (now belonging to the University of Reading) was purchased by the Convent as the Preparatory School to accommodate younger siblings of pupils.

However, after intervention by the Parents’ Association and with the co-operation of the Superior General, the school was able to continue as an educational trust whose members form the governing body.
