Welcome to St. Joseph’s Catholic Primary School, Stanford-le-Hope

St. Joseph’s Catholic Primary School is a joyful, welcoming community rooted in faith, love, and learning. As a proud Catholic school, our identity is shaped by the teachings of Christ and the values of the Gospel, which guide every aspect of school life. We are committed to nurturing the spiritual, moral, and academic development of every child, helping them to grow in faith and flourish as confident, compassionate individuals.

Situated in the heart of Stanford-le-Hope, we are deeply connected to our local community. Our school serves families from a range of backgrounds, and we cherish the unique contribution that each child and family makes to our school family. We are proud to be part of a diverse and vibrant town, and we celebrate the richness this brings to our community life.

Our strong links with the parish of Our Lady and St. Joseph’s, local organisations, and community groups help our children to understand the importance of service, social responsibility, and working together for the common good. These connections strengthen our shared mission to live out our faith in action and to make a positive difference in the world around us.

At St. Joseph’s, we are more than a school—we are a faith-filled, supportive community where children are known, valued, and encouraged to become the very best versions of themselves.
