St. Joseph’s Catholic College was founded by the Order of the Sisters of the Cross and Passion in 1908. It was a direct grant grammar school until 1977 when it became a Voluntary Aided 13–19 Girls’ School under the trusteeship of the Diocese of Leeds, which owns the buildings and grounds, and appoints the majority of the Governors. In 1995 due to Bradford Catholic re-organisation the College became an 11–19 Catholic Girls' School.
The Governors are responsible for managing the budget, for the appointment of staff and the admission of pupils. The College has over 1,000 pupils, of whom 176 are in the Sixth Form, and 69 teaching staff. The intake of 150 comes from 16 Catholic parishes.
