They turn their concern into action by fundraising for local, national and global causes. This year our St Joseph’s ‘Mini Vinnies’ group includes: Alexa, Jacob, James, Nancy, Eva, Mabel, Isabelle, Emily, Leila and Nancy. Following a special commissioning assembly, our Mini Vinnies work as ambassadors in our school and local community in promoting good causes. Mini Vinnies are 7 to 11-year old pupils based in schools and parishes across England and Wales, and in several other countries across the world. They come together to form a part of the **[St. Vincent de Paul Society England and Wales](https://www.svp.org.uk/)**, a voluntary organisation dedicated to tackling poverty in all its forms. Mini Vinnies meet to pray, discuss and support however they can to help make a difference in their communities. As Mini Vinnies, the pupils have their own ‘treasured’ Prayer, Pledge and Badge, a dedicated website and a range of documents which guide them in their formative steps, helping and enabling them to become in every sense, young Vincentians – or ‘Mini Vinnies’. ![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/)
