Welcome
It is a true privilege to serve as Headteacher of St Joseph’s in Norton, a school where every child is cherished and encouraged to grow. I’m proud to lead a strong and caring team dedicated to creating a warm, inclusive environment where children thrive.
Our close-knit, family atmosphere is something we treasure. Through thoughtful pastoral care, children grow in confidence, build positive friendships, and develop a foundation of values and respect for others. We are committed to their wellbeing, ensuring that every child feels safe, happy, and valued. We want every child to feel they truly belong, to know they are deeply loved by God, and to leave us ready for the next step of their journey—not just as learners, but as kind, responsible, and compassionate people. Above all, we hope to instil pride in each child, so they take pride in who they are and the school they belong to.
With high expectations and a spirit of perseverance, we nurture every child’s talents and encourage them to always do their very best. Our ambitious curriculum plays a key role in this, ensuring that every child’s learning is tailored to their unique needs and aspirations. It challenges them to explore, grow, and reach their full potential.
We celebrate the success of all our pupils, big and small, and are committed to recognising their achievements, both inside and outside the classroom. Every milestone is a testament to their hard work, and we take great pride in each child’s individual journey.
Working hand in hand with families, the parish, and the wider community, we create a nurturing environment enriched by shared expertise as part of the Bishop Hogarth Catholic Education Trust.
