• Year 6 Leavers Mass

  Mon 14 Jul 2025

  We gathered at St. Mary and St. Ethelburga Catholic Church for a beautiful and moving Leavers’ Mass, celebrated by Father Paul, to honour our wonderful Year 6 pupils. It was a time of prayer, reflection, and gratitude as we asked for God’s blessings on their journey ahead. Though they may be moving on to new adventures, they will always remain a cherished part of the St. Joseph’s family. May their faith guide them, and may they carry the love and values of our school with them always.

  Each year, Bishop Alan honours the remarkable young people of our Diocese through the Brentwood Diocese Citizenship Awards. These awards celebrate children who inspire others through their kindness, leadership, and commitment to their communities. This year, St Joseph’s proudly nominated Irene-Favour in Year 6, recognising her as a shining example of these values. Irene-Favour was overjoyed to receive her award from the Bishop at the beautiful Brentwood Cathedral, and she thoroughly enjoyed meeting other award recipients in the peaceful gardens of Cathedral House. Well done, Irene-Favour! We are incredibly proud of you and all that you represent.

  

• Climate Conference @ Ripple

  Fri 04 Jul 2025 DH

  On Thursday 3rd July, we had the wonderful opportunity to go to Ripple Primary School and take part in a Climate Conference where 4 schools - including ours - did a short presentation about the impact of climate change and how our schools are combatting it. We also met Nesil Caliskan, the MP for Barking and Neil Pearce who heads up sustainability at Barking council. We did a Q&A with them and some of their answers were really thought provoking. After some juice and biscuits, we had an opportunity to walk around the school hall and look at some of the wonderful art work that the schools had bought with them.
