Headteacher's Welcome
Welcome to St Joseph’s!
Here at our school, Jesus is at the heart of everything we do. Our ethos is: “To inspire, to learn, to love – with God.” This shapes every decision we make and every lesson we teach. We are proud to be part of the St Gabriel the Archangel Multi Academy Trust. Rooted in our Catholic mission, we want every child to know that they are loved by God and that they have been given special gifts to share with the world. Whether your child is Catholic or of another faith, they are valued here as a unique and precious individual.
At St Joseph’s, we believe school should be a place where all children feel safe, happy, and inspired to try their best. Our classrooms are filled with laughter, curiosity, and creativity. We learn together, celebrate together, and support one another – building memories and friendships that will last a lifetime.
Our curriculum is engaging, ambitious, and designed to spark curiosity whilst catering for each individual child’s needs. We are committed to discovering and nurturing each child’s talents, encouraging them to develop the confidence, skills, and compassion they need to make a positive difference in the world.
We know that a child’s education is a shared journey, so we place great value on our partnerships with parents, our parish, the local community, and the Diocese. Together, we create a supportive family where children can flourish academically, spiritually, and personally.
I hope our website gives you a real sense of the warmth, care, and joy that fill our school every day. If you would like to find out more – or to come and see us in action – please contact the school office on 01543 227225.
I look forward to welcoming you and your family to St Joseph’s.
Mr A. Gilchrist
