The goal of the school must be to provide a Catholic ethos based on doctrine, emphasising the values of
Faith, Hope, Love and Forgiveness. This ensures that all who work in the school achieve their full potential.
Teachers are required to give witness to Christ by their lives as well as their teaching. They are committed to
excellence for all.
The role of parents is central to effective learning in school. We at St Joseph's
College like to view education as a partnership between the student, his teachers and his parents. As Headmaster
of St Joseph's College, I place great emphasis on discipline in the school, as I consider strict discipline,
smart uniform, good punctuality and excellent attendance to be vital to doing well at school. If any pupil falls
below these high standards, parents are contacted at once.
As from September 2003, the College has
become a Specialist Mathematics and Computing College.
Mathematics and Computing Colleges will raise
standards of achievements in the mathematics and computing subjects for all their students across the ability
range, leading to whole school improvement in performance. They will be active partners in a learning society
with their local families of schools and their communities, sharing resources and developing and sharing good
practice. Colleges will promote an educational culture that is technological, enterprising and vocational.
Mathematics and Computing Colleges will develop innovative practice in the delivery of the specialist and
associated subjects, which will provide models of excellence both within the school and across the community.
They will raise the post-16 participation rate in the specialist subject areas, and provide young people with
the skills needed to progress into employment, further training or higher education according to their
individual abilities, aptitudes and ambitions.
