Our Motto
St Joseph's Catholic Primary School is
A calm, holy place where we pray, think and celebrate God's world.
Where we can share a true love of learning through our creative and
inclusive curriculum.
Where we celebrate and nurture the gifts and talents of every person as
uniquely created in the image of God.
A supportive community where home, school and church work together.
Learning and laughing together in the light of God's love.
Our School Creed
This is our school,
Let peace dwell here.
Let the school be full of contentment.
Let love abide here,
Love of our school,
Love of one another,
Love of mankind,
Love of life itself
And love of Jesus.
Let us remember,
That as many hands built our school,
So many hearts make our school.
Amen
