Religious Education

The children’s own experience, at the appropriate level of growth, is the basis on which their awareness and knowledge of God is developed.  Our religious teaching is not confined to specific daily lessons but permeates the whole life of the school and our dealings with the children, each other and visitors.  We use a pupil profile, adopted by the diocese, to frame the values and virtues we strive for in our school.

The Diocesan Scheme of Work, “Learning and Growing as the People of God”, is supplemented by the celebration of the Liturgical Year of the Church. This is achieved through class teaching, collective worship, assemblies and mass.

The Gospel values are what Jesus asked us to follow and they are at the root of Catholic social teaching and so they are what we abide by behaving towards others here at         St. Joseph's. 

We also nurture our wider Catholic Life of the school through a variety of different ways.   Please click the link - Catholic Life Information
