The whole school gathered for **Mass**, marking this special feast day with prayer and reflection. Following this, our Chaplains welcomed parents and parishioners to **Thornton Hall** for tea and coffee, creating a warm and welcoming space for fellowship. ### Living Out Catholic Social Teaching in Action Our **Mini Vinnies** embraced the call to service by visiting local care homes, where they delivered **daffodils and handmade cards**. Their kindness brought smiles and comfort to residents, beautifully embodying Catholic Social Teaching in a practical and heartfelt way. Meanwhile, every class took part in a special RE lesson focused on learning more about **St Joseph**, his virtues and the example he sets for us today. ### St Joseph’s Got Talent The celebrations continued into the afternoon as the whole school gathered for **St Joseph’s Got Talent**. A huge well done to every act that performed — the confidence, creativity and enthusiasm on stage were inspiring to see. And of course, congratulations to our talented winners! ### Celebrating Faith, Talent and Dignity Throughout the day, we lived out our Catholic mission by celebrating our faith, honouring the dignity of every child, and showing solidarity through acts of service. It was a beautiful reminder of the strength of our school community and the values that unite us. ![](https://st-joseph-s-catholic-academy-2.schudio.com/images/654686574_1476157137633759_3510226687261147728_n.jpg)![](https://st-joseph-s-catholic-academy-2.schudio.com/images/653958557_1476157140967092_4957590737748277264_n.jpg) [ A Heartfelt Thank You for Supporting Our CAFOD Cake Sale](https://st-joseph-s-catholic-academy-2.schudio.com/news/2026-03-19-a-heartfelt-thank-you-for-supporting-our-cafod-cake-sale) [A Special Visitor in Reception! ](https://st-joseph-s-catholic-academy-2.schudio.com/news/2026-03-25-a-special-visitor-in-reception) ![St Joseph’s Catholic Academy](https://files.schudio.com/st-joseph-s-catholic-academy-2/images/logo/Bishop_Hogarth_and_Hexham_Logo_new_(1).png) ### St Joseph’s Catholic Academy Ragworth Road Norton Stockton on Tees TS20 1HR 01642 360401 - [Office 365](https://outlook.office365.com/carmel.org.uk) - [Parents Evening System](https://stjosephsrcnorton.parentseveningsystem.co.uk/) - [Accelerated Reader](https://www.myon.co.uk/login/index.html) - [Teams FAQs](https://bhcet.org.uk/information/teams-faqs/) - [Remote Learning](https://st-joseph-s-catholic-academy-2.schudio.com/information/remote-learning) - [Online Payments](https://www.mychildatschool.com/MCAS/MCSParentLogin) - [Remote Learning](https://remote.carmel.org.uk/) - [Liturgy](https://liturgy.bhcet.org.uk/) - [Year 6 Transition Curriculum](https://bhcet.org.uk/year6transitioncurriculum/) ### Social Media - [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/stjosephsnorton/) - [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/stjosephscatholicacademy/) ### Translation ### Office 365 [Sign in to Office 365](https://outlook.office.com/) © Copyright 2025–2026 St Joseph’s Catholic Academy School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://st-joseph-s-catholic-academy-2.schudio.com/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
