• Summer Fair 2019

  Fri 05 Jul 2019

  Thank you to all the parents and children who attended our fabulous summer fair on Friday.  The staff worked really hard to make the fair such a success and we had lots of great stalls. The children always love a go on soak the teacher and the sweet tombola!  It is so lovely so see all our staff, children and parents getting together for some fun and games to raise lots of money for our school.  There is still so much we would like to do on our playgrounds so every penny raised will go towards further equipment and activities for the children. 

  

• St Joseph Got Talent

  Fri 28 Jun 2019

  On Friday 28th June the whole school and staff were treated to an amazing St Joseph Got Talent show. We had our very own "Ant and Dec" , we even had the 3 judges Simon Cowell, Amanda Holden and Alesha Dixon.

   

  We had gymnastics, musical talent, singing, joke telling performances and even a dancing debut from some teachers!

  It was a spectacular show and the worthy winner was Joao Ricardo who was crowned our SJGT winner for 2019. 

  Well done to all our competitors – you were amazing!

   

  Thanks also to our wonderful judges too.

  

• Feast of the Sacred Heart

  Fri 28 Jun 2019
  Children attended Mass for the feast of the Sacred Heart today. They are always very reverent when they attend church. This week we have had a talk from CAFOD about how climate change can have an effect on our world. We do our bit in school by recycling paper and having litter pickers to clear up the rubbish that blows in from the street.

• Sports day - Great Outdoor Week

  Fri 24 May 2019

  The sports days have been testament to sporting progess and talent at SJPS. They have been great fun with the highlight being the tug of war! Thank you to all the parents for coming to support and watch your child take part. The weather has been really good – we have been very lucky! Also great to see all the children in their house coloured t-shirts.

   

  Trips to Beacon Fell and Ribbleton Park have been an excellent way to celebrate outdoor week. The children have shown team effort, resilience, communication skills, motivation and energy and had lots of fun! Orienteering, fire building and Happier Lancashire Assembly, tree collage, playground chalking have also added to the wonderful week.

• Operation Encompass

  Mon 13 May 2019

  From Monday 29^th April 2019, our school will be participating in Operation Encompass. This is a nationwide initiative, thoroughly researched and devolved by the Home Office.

  From Information available in April 2018, Operation Encompass was already in place in 33 out of 43 police forces in England and Wales and has been recognised and supported as best practice by the education bodies of both police and education.

  Each school will be informed of all Domestic Abuse incidents, not just those where an offence can be identified or those which are graded as high risk. The partnership recognises that all incidents of Domestic Abuse can be harmful to children and young people.

  A nominated member of staff known as a Key Adult, has been trained to liaise with the police. At St. Joseph Catholic Primary School the Key Adults are Mrs C Monaghan, Mrs A Ollerton and Miss H Cooper. They will be able to use information that has been shared with them, in confidence, to ensure that the school makes provision for possible difficulties experienced by the children or their families.

  The Key Adult will keep this information confidential, and will only share it on a need to know basis, for instance, to teaching staff for the child or young person. It will not be shared with other school students.
