Catholic Life - At Saint Joseph’s Infant and Junior Schools we aim to live out our mission statement by helping those in our community. Below you will find all the charities and organisations that our children have been involved with. The School actively engages in charitable outreach which benefits not only those in need but our pupils by developing their social responsibility.
We work closely with CAFOD to develop our children's understanding of their wider responsibilities both in their community and the wider world.
The Passage is an organisation whose aim is to provide homeless people with support to transform their own lives. Every Christmas our children help this organisation by bringing in items to donate to the Passage.
As a school both the Infant School and Junior School are on Brent Council School Streets meaning this reduces traffic on the roads to residents only keeping our children safe. The children also received special road safety stickers as well as taking part in road safety lessons.
The school also celebrated BRIGHT DAY and raise money for the charity, to remind people as we are now in the winter months which are darker to wear something bright to ensure you can be seen by road users more easily.
CCS Lent Appeal: Building Bridges
This year’s appeal is inspired by Pope Francis’s call to ‘build bridges, not walls’ and find ways to connect and help others in their time of need. Every penny raised by your school will support our work with local disadvantaged children and families.

We don’t think anyone in our community should have to face going hungry. That’s why our Prayer Leaders made it there mission to collect food from the children at our school to help those in need.
The children approached the Prayer Leaders wishing to raise money to support the people of Ukraine and supporting those families in our community. The Prayer Leaders then organised a own clothes day asking for donations on entry into our schools.
The prayer leaders of the Infant and Junior school brought it to our attention that they would like to do something to support the families who have been tragically affected by the earthquake on Monday 6th February 2023. They decided to have a non-uniform day and ask for donations They also requested a one minute silence at 11am to remember and think of the people that have been effected. They raised £1,628.84
