"We are children of God; we achieve, believe and care."
The school's Catholic life and mission are underpinned by the Bishop Wilkinson Catholic Education Trust values. The school aims to develop spirituality, act with justice, respect and dignity, foster a sense of vocation, promote educational excellence, form high aspirations, celebrate community, and support exceptional leadership. It emphasises that every member is created in God’s image and that faith, prayer, worship and liturgy are meaningful and relevant experiences for all, within the context of the Catholic faith and in partnership with the wider community.
The headteacher welcomes families and describes St Joseph’s as a Catholic school that prides itself on a happy, caring environment where everyone is encouraged and inspired to reach their true potential, with strong home–school links and an invitation to arrange visits.
