Admissions

St. Joseph’s is a one-form-entry Roman Catholic Primary School (4–11 years) in Jarrow, Tyne and Wear. Our school is a happy place, where the needs of the children are central to our philosophy. We also have a nursery school that offers a two-year-old provision, a 30-hour provision for 3 and 4 year olds and wraparound care from 8.00 am to 6.00 pm.

St. Joseph’s is a ‘family’ where children are nurtured, encouraged, supported and challenged to reach their full potential in a safe and caring environment. We are proud to be part of Bishop Chadwick Catholic Education Trust. If you would like to arrange a visit, do get in touch.

Our governing body has responsibility for admissions to our school. The local authority undertakes the co-ordination of admission arrangements during the normal admission round for Reception entry in September.
