What does the first day back look like in Year 3? 🌈

Lots of fun.
Lots of smiles.
Lots of giggles.
And a whole lot of laughter. 💚

Because the first day back is about reconnecting with friends, making new memories and remembering that school is a place where you can laugh, play, learn and be yourself.

And what better way to start than a little teamwork with the parachute? 🎈

This is what it’s all about. ❤️

A new school year brings excitement, new beginnings and, sometimes, a few butterflies too. 🤍

For some children, the thought of coming back through the gates tomorrow will be met with huge excitement. For others, there may be nerves, worries or a few tears. And for some parents, there might be a mixture of all three!

Whatever your family is feeling, we hope these words bring a little comfort.

At St Joseph’s, we want every child to know that they don’t have to be perfect, they don’t have to have everything figured out and they don’t have to be like everyone else.

They are already wonderfully made. They are valued. They belong.

As a Catholic school, our faith reminds us that we are never alone — and our mission is beautifully simple:

“Let all that you do be done in love.” — 1 Corinthians 16:14

Here’s to a new year of learning, growing, laughing, making memories and looking after one another.

Welcome back, St Joseph’s. 💚💛

We can’t wait to see you.

Reasons to unfollow St Joseph’s… 👀

We thought we’d make it easy for you.

Too much music. 🎶
Too much sport. 🏆
Too much celebrating. 🎉
Too many books. 📚
Too many funny staff member videos 😂
Too much pride in our children. ❤️

And worst of all… you might find yourself thinking, “I wish my child went there!” 😂

Still here? Good.

We’ve got plenty more to come. 💚💛

🎶 A summer term throwback! 🎶

We were incredibly lucky to welcome Jo Marsh, flautist with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, to St Joseph’s! 🎼

Jo wowed us with her incredible playing and introduced us to a whole family of flutes — from the beautiful alto flute, with its haunting Harry Potter sounds 🪄, to the tiny piccolo, and of course the much-loved concert flute.

We made music together, discovered new sounds and even had the joy of singing Happy Birthday to one of our children! 🎂🎶

As part of the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra’s 80th anniversary celebrations, Jo visited 80 schools — and we were honoured to be one of them! 💚💛

A huge thank you to Jo for visiting St Joseph’s and leaving us completely wowed by your incredible musicianship. What a special musical experience! 🎵✨
