St. Joseph's Catholic Primary Leigh
Christ is at the centre and children are at the heart of all we do here at St Joseph’s.
We believe that every child is unique, should be treated as an individual and have an exciting learning journey with us which both supports and challenges them spiritually, socially and academically.
The school’s committed, caring and professional staff and Governors are united in aiming for excellence and ensuring that every child reaches their full potential in a welcoming environment, in a school ‘full of love’ as part of the family of St Joseph’s.
We believe it is essential that there are strong partnerships between home and school. Children learn best when these links are in place and so we fully value input from parents. We look forward to building strong relationships with all our families and seeing our children develop and grow.
We recognise that starting school is a huge milestone for you and your child and we endeavour to ensure that this is an exciting and positive time for you and your family.
Please navigate around our website as it will give you a ‘flavour’ of St Joseph’s school life.
