Welcome to St. Joseph and St. Bede Roman Catholic Primary School. Take your time to look through all the details of our website and get to know our school family.

Here at St Joseph and St Bede RCPS, we pride ourselves on being a vibrant and caring school community where our strong Catholic identity is at the heart of everything we do. We value every individual and nurture our pupils to grow into well-educated, caring, confident and active members of society.

We pride ourselves on working in close partnership with families, governors, parish and the wider community to create a secure, safe and happy school where everyone feels valued, respected and loved. At St Joseph and St Bede, children are encouraged to look after one another and to develop a strong sense of belonging and responsibility.

Alongside providing a firm grounding in the Catholic faith, we offer a broad, balanced, stimulating and exciting curriculum that challenges and inspires every child. Our vision, Dream – Believe – Achieve, underpins all aspects of school life. Our bespoke curriculum is carefully designed to meet the needs of our pupils, building knowledge and understanding from local roots and extending to national and global perspectives.

With Christ at the centre, our DREAM is for greatness in our learning, to BELIEVE in our unique talents, to be guardians of life and creation and to ACHIEVE a better world, by living life to the full.

With Christ at the centre of all we do, we dream of greatness in learning, believe in our God-given talents, strive to be guardians of life and creation, and achieve a better world by living life to the full.

We have high expectations of our pupils, both in their attitudes to learning and in their behaviour, and we work closely with parents and carers to support every child to reach their full potential. We recognise that choosing St Joseph and St Bede for your child is an act of trust, and we are committed to ensuring that every child entrusted to our care feels welcome, valued and supported in an environment where they belong, they can achieve their dreams, and thrive as individuals.

Should you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact the school. We are always delighted and proud to welcome visitors to our school. We also have a virtual tour of our school which you can view below.

Mr M. Lawrence
