New headteacher Sarah Keefe is welcomed to St Joseph's Catholic Primary School, Kingston by staff, pupils and parents with a special mass at St Raphael’s Church last Thursday (September 14). All pupils from years two to six attended the Mass, with some taking part in serving and others drawing pictures to decorate the order of service.
Bishop Paul Hendricks, of the Archdiocese of Southwark, led a special service of induction and celebrated Mass while the chairman of the governors handed Mrs Keefe the keys to the school before a tea party to round off the festivities

Congratulations to all the pupils and staff at St Joseph's for achieving Silver in the Primary Science Quality Award. It was awarded to celebrate a commitment to excellence in science teaching and learning. The Primary School Quality Mark scheme enables schools to work together to share good practice and is supported by professional development led by local experts. I
Jane Turner, PSQM National Director said: “Gaining a Primary Science Quality Award is a significant achievement for a school. The profile and quality of science teaching and learning in each awarded school is very high. Children are engaging with great science both in and outside the classroom, developing positive attitudes towards science as well as secure science understanding and skills. Science subject leaders, their colleagues, head teachers, children, parents and governors should be very proud.”
