St Joseph’s RC High School is a place where the individual matters. We are hugely proud of all our young people who flourish not only academically, but also as confident young people who are ready to make a positive contribution to society.

‘Serving God Through Learning Together’ is not only a summary of our mission statement, but also a way of life at St Joseph’s, as we work together to ensure students succeed whatever their starting point, interests or talents. Our mission and vision for the young people we teach is firmly rooted in the teachings of Jesus Christ and underpinned by Gospel values, enabling them to gain a real sense of what it means to belong to a Community of Faith where all are challenged to develop their full potential.

At St Joseph’s, we believe that a great education has the power to transform lives, and this precious gift is one you can be confident that our hard-working and talented staff will strive to give to every child, every day and in every lesson.

Our school exists to serve the Catholic community in providing an education for our young people within a faith environment, grounded in the vision of Jesus Christ.

Our school aims to ensure that all are able to realise their potential, take responsibility seriously, respect themselves and others and grow within the love of God.  We aim to serve each other, the church, parents and the wider community.

“Within the distinctive character of Catholic education, spiritual and moral development are intimately connected with, though not identical to, religious education, catechesis, collective worship, private prayer and liturgies. However, they are also promoted through all the subjects of the curriculum and throughout the general life of the school.”
