About St Joseph's Catholic Primary School

Introduction
St Joseph’s Catholic Primary School is a caring school at the centre of its parish. We are a multi-cultural, welcoming school, with children from a wide variety of cultural backgrounds.

Inspired by the life and messages of Jesus, and believing that every child is made in the image and likeness of God, St Joseph’s Catholic Primary School is just like a family, where everyone is welcomed; where everyone is loved, respected and cared for; where everyone is helped and encouraged to achieve their very best and where Christ is at the heart of everything we do. Since September 2021 we have been a part of the St. Teresa of Calcutta MAC, a Multi Academy Company (MAC), in accordance with the agreement formulated between the Archdiocese of Birmingham and the Department for Education.

As a one form entry school, we have capacity for 210 pupils with 30 pupils in each year group (from Reception to Year 6).

When a child starts at St Joseph’s they usually join our Reception Class. In the foundation stage, we offer a wide variety of experiences and opportunities for pupils. Our pupils’ personal, social and emotional development is key, and our dedicated EYFS team ensure that all pupils’ needs are catered for. Child-initiated learning is a fundamental part of our EYFS practice.

At Key Stage 1, a high emphasis is placed on the development of reading and phonics, which are both essential to future success in school. We follow the Essential Letter and Sounds Programme to deliver our phonics and pupils achieve well by the end of Key Stage 1.

In Key Stage 2, we focus on developing our pupils’ skills across the curriculum and in English, Maths and RE in particular. Our fundamental aim is to ensure that all of our pupils are given the skills to learn effectively throughout their lives. When they leave our school, our pupils are always well prepared for the future.

At St Joseph’s, we offer a broad and balanced curriculum that is creative, fun, and full of interesting and vibrant learning experiences for all our pupils. We ensure that our curriculum is enriched with visitors, visits, events and activities to inspire in each child a joy for learning.

At lunchtime, we have lots of fun activities for pupils to take part in and we have a number of after school clubs on offer to enrich the learning experiences of our pupils. We also have a Breakfast Club which runs each day for all pupils.

Mission Statement
Jesus light our way on our faith journey. Be our guide, our joy, and our hope, as we learn, live, love and pray together.

Our Values
  • We value the way in which all children are unique, made in the image and likeness of God, and our curriculum promotes respect for the views of each individual child, as well as for people of all cultures and faiths.
  • We value the spiritual, moral, and physical development of each person, as well as their intellectual and physical growth.
  • We value the importance of each person in our community. We organise our curriculum so that we promote co-operation and understanding between all members of our community.
  • We value the rights enjoyed by each person in our society. We respect each child in our school for who they are, and we treat them with fairness and honesty. We aim to enable each person to be successful, and we provide equal opportunities for all the children in our school.
  • We value our environment, and we aim, through our curriculum, to teach respect for our world, and how we should care for it for future generations, as well as our own.
  • We value the importance of each child using their God-given talents to reach their full potential.
