St Joseph’s is a Voluntary Aided Catholic Primary School and as such we seek to help our children to achieve their potential and feel valued as individuals within a community based on Christ’s values of love, care and respect.
Within the framework of the National Curriculum we aim to provide a whole range of balanced learning opportunities for all children to help them grow and develop into independent responsible young people.
We believe that we can only achieve the best for your child by close co-operation between home and school and we welcome your involvement. Your child is precious to you and us and our aim is to provide a happy, stimulating environment, in which your child will feel secure and be able to devleop to his or her fullest extent. |
