We are a happy, caring and successful school in which all members of our school community enjoy supportive relationships. We believe strongly in a partnership between home and school and that together we can work more effectively for your child’s development.

Our beliefs and curriculum are based on our Catholic foundation and our Catholic spirituality pervades the whole ethos of our school. We have strong links with our parish of Our Lady and All Saints, Stourbridge and enjoy many opportunities to celebrate Mass, both in school and in our beautiful parish church.

We welcome children of other faiths and believe that we can learn much from each other about justice, tolerance and respect.

We are part of Emmaus Catholic Multi Academy Company who are a family of schools united in Christ and working as one, to provide the very best Catholic education, faith formation and personal growth, rooted in Gospel values.

Today, there are 10 schools in our family, one secondary, nine primary schools, including a Teaching School, spanning the Birmingham, Dudley, Sandwell and Worcestershire Local Authorities. We have over 3000 children, over 400 staff and over 100 Directors and Local Governors.

We are a happy, caring and successful school which is well-respected in the local community. A strong link exists between the School and the Parish of Our Lady and All Saints Church in Stourbridge. We firmly believe in a collaborative partnership between home, school and parish so that together we can support every child to develop and grow to their full potential.

Christ is at the centre of all Catholic education and through the teaching of the Gospel values and Catholic virtues, we aim for the children here at St. Joseph's to develop skills both for living and learning. We will assist parents, as the primary educators, in preparing the children for the next stage in their education and faith journey.

Since February 2021, the School has been part of the Emmaus Catholic Multi-Academy Company. The School has retained its own identity and, with the support from the other Catholic schools, has continued to grow from strength to strength.

I hope you find this career page a useful introduction to the life of St. Joseph's School.
