Pupils at St Joseph’s are happy and safe. They show pride in their school. They act out the Christian values of respect and tolerance, which supports everyone to feel included. Pupils enjoy learning about the world around them. They compare other people’s experiences to their own to understand and learn about difference. Pupils behave well in lessons and during playtimes. Bullying rarely happens, but if it does, adults sort it out. Pupils overwhelmingly say that their peers at the school are kind. They know the expectations in place and gently remind each other of the rules. Pupils experience a wide range of opportunities linked to the curriculum and the Catholic faith. Pupils take on responsibilities to help shape the future of their school and community. These include the chaplaincy committee and sports captain roles. Addressing issues of sustainability is a golden thread running through the school. Pupils are reflective and mature when considering how their actions affect the world. Pupils benefit from celebrations and awards that recognise their qualities and achievements. These include the ‘Jack Fielder achievement award’ for pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) and the ‘Franciscan value award’.
