Welcome

At St. Joseph’s each and every child is valued, nurtured, loved, and is at the centre of everything we do. We teach through our own actions and words the true values of the Gospel and Christ’s teaching to love one another.

Within our school, we seek to create a happy, friendly and supportive environment, where every child has the opportunity to develop spiritually, intellectually and socially. It is the aim of everyone in our school to help the children grow in their journey of faith – Gospel values are at the centre of everything we do. Children are encouraged to aim for the highest possible standards by providing a range of exciting opportunities and experiences within our broad and balanced curriculum.

Our Values

Our vision for St. Joseph’s Catholic Primary is to provide the community we serve with a truly outstanding school, consistently providing the highest quality of teaching and support for every individual child.

Our learning community is based on the Gospel values of love, tolerance and forgiveness where the achievements of all are celebrated. We want our pupils to be creative, inquisitive, compassionate and successful, through a curriculum that is rich, exciting, innovative and varied. Our pupils will excel across the curriculum – in the arts and in sports, whilst achieving the very highest academic standards possible. As a school and staff, we believe in an ethos where children of all backgrounds and cultures are welcomed and valued; all children will make the very best progress that they can, leaving us confident to participate and take a lead role in society.

Letters

We send out letters and newsletters on a regular basis to keep parents up to date with school decisions and progress.

At St Joseph's, we keep our parents, carers and families informed about upcoming events and celebrations of our children's successes. We regularly publish a newsletter, which is sent out electronically to all of our parents and is made available on this page. We also use Social media to share the very latest events, learning and religious celebrations that take place within our school.
