Behaviour at St. Joseph’s

Behaviour at St. Joseph’s

At St. Joseph’s, Gospel values are at the heart of everything we do, shaping the way we behave and how we treat each other. We are committed to fostering a school community where everyone is encouraged to live out the teachings of Jesus, following the example He set for us.

Our values are based around St. Luke’s Gospel, which guides us to love, respect, and serve one another, just as Jesus did. St. Luke’s Gospel reminds us to show kindness, compassion, forgiveness, and humility in our daily actions.

St. Paul’s tells us to, “Love you Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind; and love your neighbour as yourself”. (Luke 10:27).

At St. Joseph’s, we strive to create a welcoming and supportive environment where these Gospel values are evident in every aspect of school life. We believe that behaviour is not just about following rules but about living a life inspired by the Gospel. We aim to nurture children who are not only respectful and well-behaved but also kind, thoughtful, and dedicated to making a positive impact in their school, community, and beyond.

Our school is a place where children learn not just academics, but how to grow as compassionate and responsible individuals, following in the footsteps of Jesus. Together, we build a school culture that reflects the love of Christ in everything we do.

All staff expect the children to be polite, well-behaved and respectful both of adults and other children.  Children equally, have a right to expect the same of the adults who work with them.   The philosophy of the mutual respect and understanding is the key principle of our  Behaviour Policy.
