Welcome from the Headteacher

Welcome to St Joseph’s Catholic Academy. We are proud to be part of the Bishop Chadwick Catholic Education Trust and serve the communities of South Tyneside and East Gateshead.
We are an OFSTED Good School in all areas and on a journey of continuous improvement to ensure that we provide outstanding opportunities for the students in our care both inside and outside of the classroom.

Our site was redeveloped in 2010 through the Building Schools for the Future Scheme. As a result, we have excellent purpose built facilities and modern equipment which has helped us develop a learning environment where each child can fulfil their potential.

St Joseph’s has a strong Catholic ethos and a tradition of excellent academic achievement dating back to the 1950s. Our FLAME values of Faith, Learning, Attitude, Mutual Respect and Enrichment underpin our pursuit of excellence in the 21st Century.

The Love of Christ Spurs us on to ensure our students are prepared for life in modern Britain equipped with the skills, attitude and qualifications to be successful. We have an exceptional staff team who are committed to ensuring that all of our students are given the support and teaching required to help them realise their goals.
At St Joseph’s we have created a nurturing environment where students are challenged academically, supported with excellent pastoral care and are given the opportunities to develop as individuals who can contribute to the wider community.

As a parent I know that choosing a school for your child is a very difficult decision. I hope that you can find all of the information you need about us on our website but if you would like to visit to find out more about the school please get in touch and we will be happy to welcome you.
