We are very pleased to announce that St. Joseph’s has been awarded the Inclusion Quality Mark with Centre of Excellence status. The report states, “Staff and pupils are steeped in an ethos of inclusion and support which truly values every unique individual, celebrating strengths and sharing in helping each other where needed.” As your know, the St. Joseph’s team has worked exceptionally hard this year to make the school a place where the children are excited to come to, every single day. This tangible ethos was captured by the assessor who stated, “The environment at St Joseph’s is exceptional, in terms both of its physical attributes and the atmosphere cultivated by all members of its community.”

As a school, put simply, we strive for excellence because this is what the children deserve. The one comment in the report that captures this mindset is, “during the assessment visit it became apparent that a lot of very good practice is in place and perhaps so well embedded as to be unremarkable to the staff in school.”

Thank you for trusting us to work with your children. Every day is a privilege! This report validates what we already know – together we are making a difference.
