Each year, we offer an after-school Rosary workshop for pupils and parents to attend, in our school hall. This is an increasingly popular event, which begins with an introduction to the Rosary, and ends with each child taking home their very own set of handmade Rosary beads. ### Home/School Rosary Workshop October 2020 Thank you to everyone who participated in our ‘Home Rosary Workshop’.

In 2019, in honour of the 90 soldiers from Norton who lost their lives in WWI and also to mark Armistices day, participating families together made poppies. These poppies were combined to create a beautiful commemorative school display.

We hope you enjoyed creating your nativity scene together as a family and retelling the wonderful story of the birth of Jesus. ‘The nativity scene is like a living Gospel… I encourage the beautiful family tradition of preparing the nativity scene at home, in the workplace, in schools, hospitals and town squares.’ ~ Pope Francis Nativity workshop photos – December 2020 673 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/st-joseph-s-catholic-academy-2/files/documents/catholic-life/Nativity-Workshop.pdf) ![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/)
