"Provision for prayer and worship at St Joseph’s is good. Assemblies and liturgies are well planned and contribute to pupils’ spiritual development. They include visual presentations, Bible readings, drama, singing and music. Pupils are involved in collective worship in their classrooms and are given opportunities for personal reflection. Each classroom has a prayer focus with religious artefacts and a display board which often includes children’s work. Feast day Masses are celebrated throughout the year and the traditions of the Church are explored with pupils. Parents, families and parishioners are invited to many celebrations. The parish priest supports the school through Masses and classroom visits as well as acting as a chaplain. Pupils have the opportunity to receive the sacrament of Reconciliation at Advent and Lent."
