# Catholic Ethos

At St Joseph's, our Catholic Ethos permeates all that we do. We live out our mission statement in every aspect of our work so that our children can grow in faith and come to know God.

As a Catholic community, we encourage everyone in our school to flourish!

Recognising that we all are made in the image and likeness of God; we aim to help everyone to realise their God-given talents and their part in God's plan.

Our school is a place of peace, tolerance and fairness where we follow the most merciful Jesus Christ's example of loving God and loving others.

Our ultimate aim is to give our community the prospects, belief and hope that they can become all that God wants them to be and follow in the footsteps of Jesus in all they say and do.

***Following in the Footsteps of Jesus, we Live, Love and Learn...***
