5 Ws 

At St Joseph's we aim to live by the 5Ws, which is a framework created by Salford Diocese to ensure we rediscover and re-energise the roots of Christianity and help us to aspire to be like God. 

At St Joseph's

We WELCOME new children, families and all visitors. They enter a friendly happy place where children follow the ways of Jesus by loving, valuing and respecting each other.

The WORD of God is placed at the centre of all that we do, following Diocesan guidelines and an enhanced curriculum that allows pupils to celebrate the word of God in an interesting and fun way.

We WORSHIP God through our class prayers, school Masses, music, assemblies, class prayer and worship services, our actions, and how we live and treat each other.

We WITNESS a loving, caring God in the way we live, the way we treat each other and in the way we care about other people who do not have as much as we have.

The WELFARE of pupils and adults is paramount. We show this in the way we treat one another fairly and equally and the way we respect each other. In our school, we want everyone to feel safe and know they are valued as unique and made in the image and likeness of God.
