Welcome to St Joseph’s Catholic Academy’s Website.

St Joseph’s is a very special place — a happy, nurturing school where everyone is welcomed, valued, and encouraged to thrive. At the heart of our school is Christ, and the Gospel values underpin everything we do. They shape our ethos, our relationships, and our daily life together.

We foster a genuine love of learning and personal growth. Working in close partnership with our families, our dedicated staff ensure that every child is given a strong foundation from which to grow — academically, socially, and spiritually. Our children are confident, capable, and compassionate, equipped with the skills they need to flourish and reach their full potential.

Our ethos is inspired by the words of Jesus: “I have come that you may have life — life to the full.” This call to fullness of life is reflected in the care, encouragement, and opportunities we offer each child. We nurture the whole person and support every member of our community in building a deeper relationship with Jesus and a clearer understanding of God’s plan for them.

At St Joseph’s, we celebrate the uniqueness of each individual while fostering a strong sense of community, responsibility, and faith. The values we share become deeply rooted and continue to guide our pupils long after they leave us.

As the first educators of your child, you play a vital role in their development, and we are committed to working in close partnership with you to ensure your child reaches their full potential. We value your insights, support, and involvement in school life. If, at any time, you have concerns, suggestions, or simply wish to talk about something, please do not hesitate to contact me or any member of our staff. Together, we can make a meaningful difference in your child’s journey.

St Josephs is currently a Single Academy Trust and part of the Diocese of Hallam. The Diocese is moving towards Multi Academy Trusts.    We already know that St Josephs will be joining the St Clare Catholic Multi Academy Trust, a change which we anticipate will happen during the academic year 2026/2027.  More information regarding the new Multi-Academy Trusts is available at https://hallam-diocese.com/schools-home/mat-development/

With Warmest Regards,

Debra McFarlane

Head Teacher
