St Joseph’s Catholic Voluntary Aided Junior School continues a long tradition of Catholic education which began over 110 years ago in 1901. The original building which is still used today was the first Catholic church and school in Leyton.
As a Catholic School our faith is at the heart of our existence. Our values and beliefs are expressed explicitly in our Religious Education programme and are implicit in the life of the school. All children are taught to value each member of God’s family; each child is taught that he/she is unique and special.
St Joseph’s is a school serving the multi-cultural parish community of Leyton in the diocese of Brentwood and plays an active role in preparing children to become responsible members of this community. The school reflects the values of the Gospel, reinforcing forgiveness and building upon the children’s own experiences to maximise their opportunities. It rewards pupils of all abilities and encourages co-operative learning and shared goals while ensuring that the talents of individual pupils can be expressed and developed. St Joseph’s provides a safe, caring environment for all staff and children.
Aims are
Each class teacher has responsibility for the day to day care of your child. As children learn best when they feel happy and secure please let your child’s teacher know about any issues which could impact on their learning in school. We will inform you of any concerns in school. Please feel free to contact the school if you wish to discuss any issues. This can be done either by arranging an appointment through the school office or through written communication with your child’s teacher.
As well as providing support in school the school is able to direct families to, or contact on behalf of families, outside agencies who are able to provide a range of support services for children and their families.
Parents should be aware that the school is legally obliged to take any necessary steps to ensure the safety of its pupils. The school abides by Local Authority Safeguarding Procedures and in cases of suspected neglect, ill-treatment or abuse will inform Social Services. All staff in the school take part in annual training and review of the school’s safeguarding policy and Procedures.

Having sent my children to St Josephs, i can only speak highly of the school, teachers & receptionist that work extremly hard. To endeavour all children inc parents are treated with the utmost respect, the children are happy, engaged & regularly supported in their learning needs, this was evident from the receptionist/office staff whom i found welcoming, friendly, & helpful being the first point of contact in school, through to the enthusiastic teaching staff.
A good diverse & vibrant school meeting the needs of the community.

I have been so impressed with this school! My children love going here and they have been so wonderful to my child with special needs. The staff and administration make sure he is taken care of and it is a wonderful feeling knowing I don't have to worry about him while he is there! My daughter has grown leaps and bounds here and absolutely loves going to school.

This is something I've been meaning to post for a long time. I absolutely love this school and we've been so impressed over the years. Every single person who works there has so much pride in what they do and they do everything they can to better the school and students.

An amazing and fantastic school to take your child, it is literally second to none. As an ex student, I am proud to say I attended such a prominent school in the community. The teachers are outstanding and the receptionist goes above and beyond to satisfy queries.
