Ursuline Sisters

We reconnected with the Ursuline Sisters, the Founders of St Joseph's, as part of our 90th Anniversary Celebrations in April 2025.  We are grateful for their continued support of our school, our pupils and their families.

Due to their generosity and support, we have been able to develop our Community Hub to include a Foodbank for families, we have been able to enhance our School Library and the reading materials available to our pupils,  we have been able to involve the enrichment opportunities on our school playgrounds at break and lunch times, and we have been able to set up a Hardship Fund for those families who are struggling so that we can conitnue to support them through the difficult times.

The Source

This year we have partnered with The Source, a local charity that provides second-hand furniture to families who are struggling.  We are grateful for all the support that they have been able to give the families of St Joseph's.
