"Pupils develop highly positive attitudes to learning because relationships with staff are strong. Adults encourage pupils to ‘have a go’ and reinforce the message that they should work without fear of failure. Consequently, pupils willingly try new things, confident that their teachers and learning support assistants will help them if they go wrong or get stuck."

Friends of St Joseph's

Working Together to Enrich School Life

The Friends of St Joseph’s is our dedicated parent and carer fundraising group, playing a vital role in supporting the school community. Through a variety of fun and inclusive events, the Friends help raise valuable funds that directly benefit our children’s learning experiences and school environment.

Whether it’s organising a school disco, running a cake sale, or helping at the Christmas Fair, the Friends of St Joseph’s bring energy, creativity, and community spirit to everything they do.

  • Build friendships – Meet other parents and carers in a relaxed, welcoming environment.
  • Make a difference – Your time and ideas can help shape memorable experiences for all our pupils.
  • Have fun! – From planning events to celebrating successes, being part of the Friends is rewarding and enjoyable.
