• Hooray for Apple Season!

  Mon 07 Sep 2026

  Our Year 2 and Year 3 children from the Afterschool Crèche Club recently enjoyed a wonderful visit to our Forest School area alongside Mr Traynor and Ms McLernon.

   

  The children began by checking on the young apple tree planted last year and were delighted to discover that it had produced its very first apple. They then turned their attention to our more established apple trees, which have enjoyed a particularly successful year and are laden with fruit.

   

  The boys and girls carefully counted the apples before helping to pick a selection from the trees. Excitement grew as they gathered the fruit and talked about how it might be used. The apples were then delivered to our canteen manager, Rick, who was delighted to receive this home-grown harvest.

   

  Rick thanked the children for their efforts and promised to create a delicious treat using the school's freshly picked apples. We can't wait to see what he comes up with and, more importantly, to have a taste!

   

  It was a lovely opportunity for the children to learn more about nature, food production and the rewards of caring for our outdoor environment.

   

  We couldn't have picked a better day!

  

• New Defibrillator Installed at St Joseph’s

  Fri 04 Sep 2026

  We are pleased to announce the installation of a second defibrillator (AED) at St Joseph’s. This valuable addition enhances the safety of our school community and provides access to potentially life-saving equipment in the event of an emergency.

   

  The defibrillator is located on the school premises near our minor hall and is accessible when required. While we hope it will never need to be used, its presence offers reassurance to pupils, staff, parents, and visitors.

   

  As a school community, we remain committed to promoting the health, safety, and wellbeing of everyone who learns, works, and visits our school.

• Welcome Back to Another School Year!

  Tue 01 Sep 2026

  It was wonderful to see all of the children back in school again for a new school year.  Everyone looked so well in their school uniforms and were so well prepared for the year ahead.  There were lots of smiles and friendship rekindled. 

  A special welcome to all our Nursery and Primary 1 pupils and those who join year groups from new schools.  

   

  We wish all our pupils, staff and parents every blessing, good health and happiness for the year ahead!

   

  A Prayer for our New School Year

   

  Heavenly Father,

  We thank you for the opportunity

  To begin this new school year.

   

  We ask that you bless our families,

  the staff and children

  So that we can work together

  To make our school a great place.

   

  We pray that You will guide us in all ways

  So that we will seek Your will

  in everything that we do.

  We ask this in the name of Jesus, our Lord.

  Amen
