"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."

Vision and Mission

Welcome to St Joseph’s Catholic Primary School

At St Joseph’s, we are proud to be a nurturing and inclusive Catholic school where every child is known, valued, and supported to thrive. Our mission is to provide a high-quality education rooted in Gospel values, where children grow in faith, confidence, and a love of learning.

“In the Light of Jesus, we Learn to Shine.”

This statement reflects our belief that every child has unique potential and a God-given light to share with the world. We are committed to helping each pupil discover and develop their talents in a safe, caring, and aspirational environment.

Our Vision

We aim to be a school where children flourish academically, spiritually, socially, and emotionally. Inspired by the life and teachings of Jesus, we work, play, pray, and grow together as a community.

We strive to ensure that every child leaves St Joseph’s with a strong moral foundation, a love of learning, and the skills and confidence to succeed in the next stage of their education and beyond.

    We encourage children to take pride in their achievements and to approach new challenges with resilience and determination.

    Through a broad and balanced curriculum, we promote high standards and a lifelong love of learning.
  • Individual Growth
    We recognise and nurture the unique gifts of every child, providing opportunities for them to shine in all areas of school life.
  • Community and Belonging
    We foster a strong sense of community where every child feels safe, respected, and included.
  • Friendship and Respect
    We promote kindness, empathy, and positive relationships, helping children to build meaningful friendships.
  • Faith and Stewardship
    We support children in developing a personal relationship with God and a deep appreciation for the world around them.

Choosing the right school is one of the most important decisions you will make for your child. At St Joseph’s, we offer a warm and welcoming environment where children are encouraged to be curious, compassionate, and confident learners. We work in close partnership with families to ensure that every child receives the support they need to succeed.
