At St Joseph’s each child is encouraged and supported to be a successful learner and grow in their faith. We believe each individual is a unique gift from God and that our purpose as a Christian community is to nurture and develop each child.
At St Joseph’s we provide a broad and balanced curriculum through which we seek to ensure high academic standards. We have achieved a Platinum standard award in physical education and take pride in our sporting success in the local area. The children do a daily mile every day to ensure they are fit and healthy and to encourage positive attitudes to fitness and well-being. We have a silver Linguamarque mark for our French teaching and in every class has a language ambassador...

The year six children attended Father Brett’s last parish Holy Mass this morning. He reminded the children to always be kind and thoughtful to others and follow Jesus’ teachings. We will all miss him but wish him a happy and healthy retirement. @RCEastAnglia https://t.co/EzhOqRfWKK
Sudbury Town Council poster competition. We welcomed Jax and Mel who were representing the town council to distribute the prizes. Well done to Billie who came 4th and Aika who came 2nd. There were 425 entries so our children did incredibly well to be placed. @TownOfSudbury https://t.co/dNOswlsxkY
Mini Vinnie’s regional director for our diocese, Barbara Quail visited school this morning to present certificates and treats to the Year 6 leavers.

The Essex police dog section came into school to teach the children about their job. We had demonstrations using two dogs Luther who chases criminals and Sheila who finds items. Thank you to PC Ben Savory and PC Andy. The children and adults were transfixed! @EPDogs https://t.co/CPFSTkfrrZ

So glad we moved our child the best thing we could have done, lovely service today both Heads speak from the heart.

I just wanted to say thank you for all you have done for our child, we were so worried about the transition because of his additional needs but everything has run so smoothly and he is very happy.
Parent
I am so impressed with the way the children are conducting themselves, they are so focussed and want to achieve. Their class teacher has given them so much self-belief.
Parent
We ask you to extend our thanks and congratulations to everyone from the school who was involved in the carol service at the Sudbury library. We have known about music at the school right the way through our almost 40 years in Sudbury, so in that sense Saturday’s event was no surprise. In this day and age, however, it is simply glorious to see children performing with their school like this.
