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.

    NO NUTS IN SCHOOL!
    Dear Parents & Carers, Can we please remind you we are a nut free school. We have several children who have very serious nut allergies that can develop into a potentially life-threatening allergic reaction. For this reason all nut-based products are not allowed on the school grounds. An allergic reaction or anaphylaxis can occur as a result of digestion, inhalation or any other contact with nut-based products. Please remember to check the labels of all food and even if it says may contain nuts, then please do not send that food product into school. For example: • Spreads, e.g. chocolate spreads like Nutella • Cereal bars • Biscuits • Cakes containing nuts • Condiments e.g. sauces Please note, if a member of staff notices a pupil eating a nut product, the product will be removed politely and explain why this has been done. So please can we reiterate that you have no nut products or products that may contain traces of nuts in your child's lunch boxes or brought into the school as snacks. Another reminder: Grapes are a good healthy fruit snack but if you include grapes in your child's packed lunch, please remember to always cut them lengthwise first as whole uncut grapes can be a choking hazard. We thank you for your ongoing support and co-operation regarding this matter. Kind regards
