Welcome to all of you that are about to embark on a fantastic learning journey at St. Joseph's School. We are so excited that you are joining us in our nursery or in reception class in September. Unfortunately we are not able to hold a transition day before the summer holidays but that doesn't stop us showing you just how wonderful our school is and how much fun you are going to have when you arrive.
This page will share with you all of the important information you need to know ready for starting in September. You will get to meet the team and see the classrooms you will be learning in. We will share things for you to do during the summer holidays as well. Please make sure your scroll down the page to find the nursery or class your child is starting. The class names will be underlined and in bold.
We hope you enjoy finding out more about us and once again thank you for choosing St. Joseph's. I guarantee you will have the best learning experience, meet lots of new friends and enjoying being part of our school family.
If you have any further questions please feel free to contact me at headteacher@st-josephs-rugeley.staffs.sch.uk
