St. Joseph's is feeling proud
Thu 18 Nov 2021The school photographer who spent his day in school yesterday taking the children's photographs has passed on this lovely message... ' I thought you should know that I visit over 300 schools each year. The children at your school are honestly the most well behaved, polite children I have ever worked with.'
Well done, children! Small acts of kindness like remembering to use your manners make a HUGE difference!

Anti Bullying Week
Mon 15 Nov 2021Anti-bullying week is off to a great start at St. Joseph's. The children look fantastic in their odd socks. In assembly this morning, we used our socks to remind ourselves that we are all unique and we started a ripple of kindness using our kind words. Bullying is never okay! In our classes this week we will learn more about what bullying is and make sure we all know what to do if bullying happens to us or someone we know. #antibullyingweek2021 #oddsocksday2021
