PHSE/RSE at St. Joseph's Catholic Primary School
St. Joseph’s is a Catholic School, religious education and the spiritual life of the school is at the heart of our service to your children. Our aim is that they grow up to be young people with a well-developed moral sense and openness to the work of the Holy Spirit, or the spiritual, in their lives. We welcome families from a variety of backgrounds and different religious beliefs. Everyone is warmly welcome to take part in any of our celebrations and services.
St. Joseph’s is a friendly school, which endeavours to create a family atmosphere. All members of staff strive to make pupils feel welcome, secure and highly valued. We aim to ensure that the curriculum provided is delivered sympathetically to meet the needs of each individual child; enabling growth in understanding and the acquisition of those skills, attitudes and values necessary for life.
Our Mission Statement and Catholic ethos commits us to the education of the whole child (spiritual, physical, intellectual, moral, social, cultural, emotional) and we believe that Relationships Education, Relationships and Sex Education and Health Education (RSHE) is an integral part of this education. Furthermore, our school aims are that we will endeavour to raise pupils’ self-esteem, help them to grow in knowledge and understanding, and help them to recognise the value of all persons and develop caring
and sensitive attitudes.
