Love Protect Educate Nurture
According to the Gospel, St Joseph, was called to love, protect, educate and nurture Jesus from birth, through childhood and beyond – ensuring the fulfilment of God’s purpose for him.
St Joseph’s school is committed to following the example of St Joseph in the following ways:
Through a close and effective partnership between home, school parish and wider community we surround all of our children and staff with the love and encouragement they need to enable all to develop to their full potential – spiritually, intellectually, socially, physically and emotionally.
We ensure our school is a welcoming, safe and secure environment where every individual is respected for who they are and what they believe. We build strong relationships based on trust, respect and friendships that recognise we are all created in the image and likeness of God. All have the right to grow and develop and so take full advantage of the gifts and opportunities given to us.
We believe that every one of us is called by God to enjoy the thrill and excitement of learning whilst discovering new things about ourselves and our world each day. We are committed to ensuring that each child and member off staff in our school is given every opportunity and all of the encouragement necessary to learn the skills they require, and to harness the gifts and talents they have, to reach their full potential.
We know that as we grow and mature we need the love and kindness of others, the grace and guidance of God, the knowledge that we are respected and cherished; to grow in body, mind and soul, into the unique and wonderful person God intends us to be. At St Joseph’s, we are committed to ensuring that through careful nurture and encouragement, all our children and staff enjoy each day at school and are equipped to become the confident, able, happy and secure individuals they were created to be.
