United We Excel

It is a true privilege to welcome you to St. Joseph’s Catholic Academy. Since becoming Head Teacher, I have been deeply moved by the warmth and generosity of our school community. As proud members of the Blessed Peter Snow Catholic Academy Trust, we are united by a shared vision rooted in faith, love and learning.

Just four weeks into my role, we were visited by Ofsted and were delighted to receive a Good rating in all areas. This was a wonderful recognition of the dedication of our staff, the enthusiasm of our pupils and the support of our families. Inspectors praised our caring and nurturing environment, our well-planned curriculum and our pupils, who were described as polite, respectful and eager to learn.

At the heart of St. Joseph’s is a strong Catholic ethos, evident in the kindness, creativity, and determination shown by our children each day. We are blessed with a committed team of staff, an active PTFA and supportive parishioners including the wonderful ladies’ group who work together to enrich the life of our school through events, prayer and partnership.

We are also grateful to our Local Academy Council, who offer wise guidance and care and to our parents and carers, whose trust and collaboration are central to all that we achieve.

This year, we celebrated an outstanding milestone—our SATs results placed us in the top 1% nationally. We couldn’t be prouder of our pupils and we are 100% committed to nurturing every child academically, spiritually and personally. St. Joseph’s is more than a school it is a family and together we will continue to grow, thrive and excel.

Thank you for being part of our journey.
May God bless our school community, now and always
