Welcome to our school; a school built on love.
It is the greatest pleasure to be the Head Teacher of St Joseph's and St Gregory's Catholic Primary School. We strive to give every child the best possible education, in an environment where everyone is loved and valued.
When your children join us on their first day, we have a clear plan and goal for each of them. That is very simply that every one of them feel loved, feel included and feel part of the St Joseph's and St Gregory's family. Every child in our school today is kind, compassionate, loving and empathic. They understand what it means to be part of a community that is rich and diverse.
Our school is a special place, where people from all walks of life come together, we live harmoniously with one another, and our children are excellent examples of how to live in the wider world.
We believe that all children have the right to an engaging and aspirational education. We have worked hard to develop a curriculum which promotes achievement for all.
We are a welcoming community, whose door is always open, should you wish to come and visit us.
with love

Our brains normalise the extraordinary and call it routine. We often come up for breath having missed the magic around us. Taking a moment to see the extraordinary is a tonic for our apathy and lethargy. #OLICATcommunity #WellbeingWednesday https://t.co/n46bQZhBxm
