At St Joseph's we value our faith and our rights and responsibilities.
We value honesty and integrity. We value respect for each other, for ourselves and for the world around us. We value perseverance, resilience and educating children to their full potential.

 

We pride ourselves on being a vibrant faith community and an ambitious learning community, where everyone is valued and has a
part to play. Strong relationships, high expectations and making the most of every opportunity underpin everything we do. We are a forward looking school with traditional values and we work hard to ensure every young person is happy, safe and successful.
As a smaller community school we have very favourable teacher to student ratios which enable children to receive more personalised tuition.

 

Our Values:

Do your bit -  Make room for all  - Model an attitude of gratitude  - Listen to God's call
