  I am delighted to inform parents, governors and friends of SJPS, that on Friday 22nd March, SJPS was awarded Preston Primary School of the Year for Sport 2019.

   

  We are absolutely thrilled to have been recognised for our sporting achievements. Miss Bell has done an amazing job transforming sport at our school. We are winning tournaments, participating in a wide range of events and enjoying the challenges, leadership and team skills sport brings for our children. 

   

  Many thanks go to all the staff who take part in sports clubs, attend sporting  events and came along to cheer on our school successes. 

   

  We have another trophy to add to our growing collection. 

   

  It was also a double win for us as Christ the King, our feeder secondary school also won Secondary school of the year. Well done to them and their amazing staff team too.

  It was wonderful to be able to celebrate the life of St Josephs and the significance of his role in Jesus’s life.

• World Book Day 2019

  Thu 07 Mar 2019
  World Book Day is such a magical day in the year. The children dress up as their favourite book character and learn about a variety of books throughout the day. They have had lots of fun researching authors, creating pieces of writing, making sculptures and creating art work. During assembly, one person from each class won a £5 voucher for WHSmith to buy a book of their choice. Well done and thank you to all the children who took part dressing up. 

  

• GOOD NEWS for SJPS

  Fri 01 Mar 2019
  We have appointed Mr Gaughan as our Deputy Headteacher. He will bring lots of enthusiasm, new ideas, knowledge and experience to the role. He will be starting with us in September but will be regularly visiting and getting to know all the children and ways of working at St Joseph’s. It will be wonderful to have another strong leader to take our school on its journey of continued improvements. I know you will all give him a warm St Joseph’s welcome.
