News & Events

Great news!! Our school has been specially selected to take part in the Get Set British Olympic Association and British Paralympic Association’s youth engagement programme.  Do you know where the Olympic and Paralympic Games are going to be held in 2020? That’s right, in Tokyo, Japan! The athletes are already hard at work, training to be as strong and fit as they can be for when they travel to Tokyo.

We would like to invite our pupils, parents and staff to get involved. We would like you to train together with the athletes, and to get your families moving, too! All you have to do is log your activity on the Travel to Tokyo site every time you do some exercise.  Every step you take, every mile you run, every minute of play outside will bring you closer to Tokyo. So get active together, try new things, and most importantly: have fun!

All pupils have enjoyed and taken part in our Health and Well being week.  A mixture of activities have taken place both in school and at other venues.  On Friday we had a world cup theme and every class chose a team.  Pupils wore the colours of their team on this day.

The Friends of St Joseph’s have purchased books for all classes in the school.  The Friends work extremely hard fundraising to provide extra resources for your children.  We also appreciate our parents and families support for the events and fundraising activities that take place.   Pictured are children with our new books.

We are all very proud of the magnificent performances of ‘Much Ado About Nothing’ over the past fortnight by some of our Year 5 and Year 6 children. We are extremely proud of their acting and overwhelmed by their ability to learn and recite those difficult words with such skill and expression. Thank you to all the parents and family members who supported their children in learning the lines, it is such a rich, powerful experience for everyone involved – something to always remember. We have had wonderful comments from many people which makes me so very proud! At the heart of the performance is Miss Gosney who never ceases to amaze us with her ability to produce such spectacular productions!

Thank you for supporting Children In Need.  Nursery and Reception children have had a pyjama party with gingerbread biscuits and hot chocolate.  The parent and toddler group joined the fun with the children colouring in lovely Pudsy pictures.

Thank you to Mrs O’Brien for donating cakes to sell at the Year 3 Assembly for Children in Need.

Children had a lovely day when Eden from Sport for Champions came to school.  Pupils performed a series of exercises during the morning.  Over £327 has been raised in sponsorship so far with more monies due in.  Many thanks to everyone for your generosity for this good cause.
