St. Joseph’s Catholic Primary School is a co-educational catholic primary school for boys and girls of all abilities from 4 – 11 years of age.
The school also has a nursery class for children from 3 to 4 years of age. Through the provision of a caring Catholic environment and dedicated effective teaching, we at St. Joseph’s aim to equip our pupils with the skills knowledge and understanding they will need to live their lives according to the teachings of Christ.
Parents
Parents are always welcome to visit the school but it is essential that you call at the school office first. You can also find out lots of information in our school prospectus.
If you wish to see the headteacher to discuss any school matter, please contact the school office to make an appointment.
If you have concerns or worries about any aspect of your child’s education do not hesitate to get in touch with your child’s class teacher or the leadership team. Where possible we resolve difficulties through informal meetings but, if necessary, there are formal complaint procedures available from the school office.
Our teachers are often available immediately after school, but we would advise you to telephone the school office beforehand to ensure that they have no previous commitment. It is also helpful if you can let us know the reason for your visit so that the teacher can prepare appropriately.
Pupil Progress Meetings
Pupil Progress meetings are held each term. Children’s work is shared and their progress is discussed. These meetings are a maximum of 10 minutes long, so if you wish to have a lengthier discussion, please arrange to see the teacher at another time. Wherever possible appointments for meetings with your child’s teacher will be made at a time to suit you.
Again, the best time to have a meaningful discussion would be after 3.30pm when we are available to devote more time to you.
Keeping In Touch
Parents receive a termly newsletter via their email, giving information about the forthcoming terms events and school activities.
