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 M Scott
(Designated Safeguarding Lead), or Miss Barry or Mrs Sanderson
(Deputy Designated Safeguarding Leads).
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.

God wants me to be the best me I can be at everything
At St Joseph's RC Primary we are always looking for opportunities to widen children's experiences. We arrange as many trips, clubs and visits as we can. We offer opportunities in and out of school.
We are very proud of our Head Boy and Head Girls. They had to complete a written application and then they had an interview where they had to tell us why they would be good in the role. They lead assembly, carry out jobs around the school and are good role models for everyone else.
Our prefects take responsibility for various jobs around school. They had to apply for this important role. They help with the younger children around school and sit with them in assembly. They ensure children move safely around the building and help teachers whenever it is needed. They are always available to help if anyone needs help.
At St Joseph's we believe in listening to pupils and giving them a voice. To do this, the pupils from each class vote for 2 class members to be their representatives in our School Council. They meet with Miss Goodwin regularly and can bring any ideas they have.
