Well done to our lovely Miss Taylor who won ‘Player’s Player of the Year’ at her football team’s annual presentation. We’re so proud of her ⭐️

@SRSCMAT @stjshirebrook Thank you for all of your ongoing support Becky. You will truly be missed 🩷 Sending all our love for your next steps 🥰

Today, we are saying an official goodbye to our Data Manager Becky Hill. Becky has done an incredible job building up our data systems across the Trust and she is also an all round lovely person. We will miss her but we wish her all the best in her new role! Good luck Becky! ❤️

Our AMAZING Saint Joseph’s athletics team who competed at South Peak Sports this evening. We couldn’t be more proud of every single member of our team if we tried. They all gave it their absolute all and we had some fabulous race results ⭐️

Today, we learnt about the Islamic faith. We focused on elements of the Holy book, prayer, the five pillars, the month of Ramadan and the festival of Eid. Each child made a Ramadan lantern, which shows the importance of light at the end of a long time of fasting and sacrifice.

At St Joseph’s we provide additional learning opportunities and experiences through offering a wide range of extra curricular clubs. One of these includes Forest School Club where we enjoyed delicious s’mores this afternoon! 🔥🪵😋

Really, really well done to our amazing Year 6 pupils who completed their SATS and enjoyed an afternoon of celebrations 🥳 They have been so incredibly positive and have given their absolute best throughout the week and we are all so, so proud of them ❤️🤍💛
