Welcome to all our families to a new school year

Welcome to St. Joseph’s Catholic Primary School Hendon

St. Joseph’s Catholic Primary School is a vibrant and historic part of the neighbourhood of Hendon in North West London. Founded in 1882 initially as a boarding school, the school has survived two World Wars and gone from strength to strength. We work to give our children the best possible education in the fullest sense of the word – academically, spiritually and emotionally.

The gospel principles of loving your neighbour, of compassion and of justice permeate all aspects of our school life. We are a friendly and outward-looking school community, welcoming families from all parts of the world. We are proud of our success in academic exams and achievements on the sports field, and we also have good links with local, national and international charities and organizations.

Please take time to browse our website to find out more about the school and the fantastic activities we are involved in.

    A Note of Gratitude from Dr Lane
    Dear Parents and carers, As we approach the end of another academic year, I wanted to take a moment to express my sincere appreciation for your unwavering support throughout the challenges and triumphs we've faced together. The scripture reminds us, "Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up." (Galatians 6:9) In every school year, there will undoubtedly be changes and obstacles to overcome, but we have remained steadfastly focused on the best interests of our children, and for that, we are grateful for every parent's contribution. Your partnership and dedication have been invaluable in fostering a nurturing environment where our students can thrive. This year has been marked by significant success in all year groups, but we take great pride in the efforts of our Year 6 pupils and the successes they had in the end of years SATs tests. As they embark on their journey to secondary school, we wish them all the best and have every confidence in their ability to continue excelling. While we celebrate our successes, we must also bid farewell to valued members of our community. In addition to the teaching staff mentioned in previous correspondence, we extend our best wishes to Ms. Park, Ms. Raja, and Ms. Calloni from our support staff, who will be taking on new roles elsewhere in September. Their contributions to our school have been invaluable and we are grateful for their service. As we look ahead to the new academic year, I hope that all children and parents have a restful and rejuvenating break. We eagerly anticipate your return in September, ready to embrace even greater accomplishments and continue our shared journey of nurturing young minds and souls. Warmest regards, Dr Lane

    Summer Fair 28th September & Tombola July 22nd
    Hey Parents/Carers & Grandparents, We're really sorry to say that the Summer Fair had to be postponed because of the bad weather. We tried to push through the rain, but it just didn't let up. For everyone's safety and to make sure we all have a blast, we decided to move the fair to Saturday, September 28th from 12 pm to 4 pm. If you bought tokens in advance, don't worry - you can still use them for the new date. Feel free to get in touch if you have any questions. The Tombola that was supposed to happen at the fair will now take place on July 22nd from 3 pm to 4 pm. It's open to kids and grown-ups, so let's make it some after-school fun! You can use your tokens to get tickets for this event too. If you've already got tokens, go ahead and use them for the Tombola. We hope to see you there! 😊 Wishing you all an amazing summer! The Friends of St Joseph’s
