RE

St Joseph's is a Catholic school and we are committed to the Catholic Faith, recognising and valuing every individual as special and unique in the image and likeness of God. It is our duty to see our mission and vision embedded across the RE curriculum, and the wider curriculum beyond. This sits alongside the Gospel Values which are inextricably linked through everything we teach. 

 
RE at St Joseph's respects and promotes each child’s capacity for wonder, awe, reverence and spirituality. Our RE curriculum leads our children to aspire not to have more, but to be more; children are taught about God’s love and learn about their Christian responsibilities. Children are provided with experiences of church, Catholic and Christian traditions, as well as being taught to be respectful and understanding of people and traditions from other faith backgrounds. Through RE, our children learn about their unique place within the home, school and parish community.

Prayer is a very important part of each day and is central to our life in school. The children enjoy writing and sharing prayers and we hope you can support them to pray at home.

We visit St Joseph's Catholic Church to celebrate weekly Mass.

 

Other Faiths

We teach the children about other faiths during multi-faith weeks and topics to reflect our diverse world.
