At Our Lady and St. Joseph’s every child is known, valued and nurtured. We are a family who care for one another, support one another and inspire one another to be the best that we can be. We are very much part of a larger community; within school, with our feeder school St. Bede’s, within our Parish, within Bishop Wilkinson Catholic Education Trust and within the wider community to which we serve.
