Our Lady & St Joseph's Primary School

Average school. The teachers are great. The headteacher can be a hit or a miss. You either get her in a ‘want to be your best friend’ mood or ‘walking by as if she’s never met you before’ no happy medium. Very stand offish and rigid, not very compassionate at all. The school does very little in the way of providing out of school activities for the pupils. They share a campus with another local primary school who seem to be on the go all the time. Constant clubs, updating, fundraising. From what I gather, the parent council are shut down with a lot of their ideas as it’s a ‘poverty/deprived school in a poverty stricken area’ Parent/teacher communication is great when it happens. 90% of the time it doesn’t. The outdoor playground is very plain nothing for the children to do except run around the school pitch or the concrete ground. Nothing engaging for them. The social media side of the school is in a word, embarrassing. Seems focused on one class for a few days then nothing. No consistency.
