Our school is committed to safeguarding and promoting
the welfare of children and young people. We expect all
staff, visitors and volunteers to share this commitment.
If you have concerns regarding the safeguarding or
welfare of any of our pupils, please contact Mrs Elder
(Designated Safeguarding Lead), or Mrs Scott
(Deputy Designated Safeguarding Lead).
St Joseph’s participates in Operation Encompass.
Following the report of an incident of domestic abuse,
school will be advised that the child has been involved.
Please see school website for further details

Welcome to our Governors’ section.
Our team of school Governors work tirelessly with a single goal: To challenge St Joseph’s to improve in every possible way! Governors meet regularly throughout the school year to make sure they are fully up-to-date with all developments and plan for future improvements. Although they are busy people, they also often visit school during the day to see what is going on and to talk to pupils. Governors give their time freely, if you are interested in being a school governor please contact Mrs Elder at school - 01706873177.
