Well done, everyone!** **![](https://st-joseph-s-catholic-academy-2.schudio.com/images/700418342_1526578625924943_6556861871337986033_n.jpg)![](https://st-joseph-s-catholic-academy-2.schudio.com/images/702099590_1526578605924945_7676531499846611699_n.jpg)![](https://st-joseph-s-catholic-academy-2.schudio.com/images/702028289_1526578409258298_8447990018349087682_n.jpg)** **![](https://st-joseph-s-catholic-academy-2.schudio.com/images/701708537_1526578765924929_9060618333738839783_n.jpg)** [Trips](https://st-joseph-s-catholic-academy-2.schudio.com/news/tag/trips) [ Team Spirit on Show: Class 5 at Striking and Fielding Festival](https://st-joseph-s-catholic-academy-2.schudio.com/news/2026-05-18-team-spirit-on-show-class-5-at-striking-and-fielding-festival) [Athletics Success: A Record‑Breaking Day for Team St Joseph’s ](https://st-joseph-s-catholic-academy-2.schudio.com/news/2026-05-22-athletics-success-a-record-breaking-day-for-team-st-joseph-s) ![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/)
