Welcome to our school website. We hope that you are able to find all of the information you are looking for but please don't hesitate to get in touch with us via the school office should you need any further information or support. We are happy to provide paper copies of any information contained on this website.
St Joseph’s is a one-form entry Roman Catholic primary school situated in gorgeous grounds in the Lancashire town of Darwen. We are blessed to be surrounded with awe-inspiring natural beauty and are passionate about using our environment to both support learning and promote wellbeing.
As a Catholic school, we take seriously our duty to support parents as the first educators of their children. It is our mission to provide a holistic education that allows each and every child to develop to their full potential- academically, morally and spiritually. We believe that every child is unique and we enable them to explore and develop their gifts so that they can grow alongside others as children of God and in service of others.
The ethos of our school is centred on the teachings of Jesus Christ and we promote a personal and spiritual development for our children that allows them to understand and demonstrate the Gospel values of: Love, Family, Faith, Hope, Forgiveness, Service, Truth and Justice.
St Joseph’s Catholic Primary School educates children from the parish of St Joseph's RC church as well as children from further afield. We also serve our local community which includes children not of the Catholic faith. We believe that our strong focus on morality and spirituality creates an environment where all children can thrive.
