Playground Friends provides positive and co-operative play, and encourages less confident children to interact with their peers. Our Playground Friends are in year 5 and are timetabled to lead play at break and lunch times. Our Playground Friends have a booklet full of exciting games which they play each week, they also choose one game to be our 'craze of the week'. The Friends have trained our Lunchtime Supervisors to help them lead games at lunch. When they are on duty, as a Playground Friend, the children wear a blue hat and a lanyard. Our playground friends in year 5 are; Katelyn, Francesca, Ava Mc, Noah, Finn, Ryan, Louie, Emily W, Ivy, Ellena, Evan , George, Jacob, Scarlet, Nancy, Morrigan, Frank, Kaja, Scarlett, Alexa, Ava E and Jorgie. ### Children - [School Council](https://stjosephsnorton.bhcet.org.uk/school-council) - [Stewards of Creation](https://stjosephsnorton.bhcet.org.uk/stewards-of-creation) - [Pupil Chaplaincy Team](https://stjosephsnorton.bhcet.org.uk/our-faith/catholic-life/pupil-chaplaincy-team) - [Danger Detectives](https://stjosephsnorton.bhcet.org.uk/danger-detectives) - [Well Being Ambassadors](https://stjosephsnorton.bhcet.org.uk/well-being-ambassadors) - [Sports Leaders](https://stjosephsnorton.bhcet.org.uk/curriculum/our-curriculum/sports-leaders) - [Reading Rangers](https://stjosephsnorton.bhcet.org.uk/reading-rangers) - [Playground Friends](https://stjosephsnorton.bhcet.org.uk/children/playground-friends) ![St Joseph’s Catholic Academy](https://files.schudio.com/st-joseph-s-catholic-academy-2/images/logo/Bishop_Hogarth_and_Hexham_Logo_new_(1).png) ### St Joseph’s Catholic Academy Ragworth Road Norton Stockton on Tees TS20 1HR 01642 360401 - [Office 365](https://outlook.office365.com/carmel.org.uk) - [Parents Evening System](https://stjosephsrcnorton.parentseveningsystem.co.uk/) - [Accelerated Reader](https://www.myon.co.uk/login/index.html) - [Teams FAQs](https://bhcet.org.uk/information/teams-faqs/) - [Remote Learning](https://stjosephsnorton.bhcet.org.uk/information/remote-learning) - [Online Payments](https://www.mychildatschool.com/MCAS/MCSParentLogin) - [Remote Learning](https://remote.carmel.org.uk/) - [Liturgy](https://liturgy.bhcet.org.uk/) - [Year 6 Transition Curriculum](https://bhcet.org.uk/year6transitioncurriculum/) ### Social Media - [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/stjosephsnorton/) - [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/stjosephscatholicacademy/) ### Translation ### Office 365 [Sign in to Office 365](https://outlook.office.com/) © Copyright 2025–2026 St Joseph’s Catholic Academy School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://stjosephsnorton.bhcet.org.uk/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
