St Joseph's College (formerly St Joseph's Convent School) is a coeducational independent 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.
Broad Oak House, the oldest part of the College, is a Grade II listed building, built between 1870-1890s. It was once owned by the Sutton family of Sutton Seeds, before it was purchased by the Sisters.
