Welcome to St Joseph’s Primary School, Charlton – where every child is seen, every voice is heard, and every heart matters.

At St Joseph’s, we are deeply committed to the safety, well-being, and dignity of every child. Our robust policies and practices ensure a protective and nurturing environment for all.

As a small Catholic primary school inspired by the life and teachings of Christ, we take pride in our vibrant, close-knit community. Every child is recognised as a unique individual, and we attune our support to nurture their strengths, guide their challenges, and help them grow in confidence and compassion.

We celebrate and welcome our growing diversity and hold inclusive values at the core of all we do. Our classrooms are alive with curiosity, creativity, and explicit instruction—grounded in best practice and a shared pursuit of excellence.

Students at St Joseph’s quickly become part of a proud and caring community where they experience a deep sense of belonging. Our dedicated staff walk alongside each child on their spiritual journey, fostering a love of learning, encouraging critical and creative thinking, and preparing young minds to navigate an ever-changing world.

Our school-wide positive behaviour strategies—being safe, responsible, and respectful—are reflected in everything we do.

I warmly invite you to explore our school community and discover what makes St Joseph’s a truly special place: a place to belong, a place to thrive, and a place committed to the fullness of life for all.
