Catholic Life
Information about Catholic life within our trust.
At the heart of St Joseph’s Catholic Primary School are the Bishop Wilkinson Catholic Education Trust values which recognise the unique contribution that every member of our community makes. The Catholic life and mission of the school is underpinned by actions and experiences that ensure that these values are lived out in all aspects of school life and so our pupils grow to know God, understand their vocation, and feel safe, nurtured, valued and aspirational.
We believe that a knowledge of and a personal relationship with Christ brings meaning and direction to life.
We believe that every member of our diverse community is created in God’s image and therefore we act with respect and show dignity, ensuring that all are treated with fairness, justice and equity. We work fervently to dispel inequality and pay special attention to those most in need.
We believe that all members of our Trust should be supported to recognise their own purpose and to develop a sense of how they are called to contribute to society.
We believe that each person should be equipped to excel through the highest quality learning opportunities and richest wider-school experiences.
We believe that every member of our Trust community should have the highest expectations of themselves and others and should be equipped with the knowledge and skills to achieve greatly.
We believe that our schools promote truth, honesty, reconciliation, resilience and integrity in their own context, but together create strength, optimism and excellence across the Trust.
We believe that the best leadership in Catholic Schools raises the work of the staff and the attainment of young people to levels that exceed expectations through relentless focus, effective management skills, profound empathy, sustained energy and robust optimism, underpinned by wide professional knowledge founded on innovative research.

Reception have enjoyed learning about growth and new life through our focus text, ‘The Extraordinary Gardener’. We have planted seeds, choosing which type of plant or flower we want to grow, hunted for caterpillars which are now growing rapidly in Reception and created an extraordinary world on a home-made skyscraper like those in our focus […]
