Weekly reflection
EDUCATION, EDUCATION, EDUCATION The cry of a former Prime minster!
Over the years I have witnessed the dedication and determination of parents to seek the best schools for their children, and we know that catholic schools have an excellent reputation in achieving this. But Catholic Education cannot just be about acquiring the best academic results, it must also educate our young people in their Catholic Faith and thereby helping parents to fulfil their baptismal responsibilities.
Under the forthcoming changes, parents will need to provide a Certificate of Catholic Practice, as required by the Bishops of England and Wales. Please ensure that you are registered with the parish, and as far as possible to be fully engaged in the life of the parish.
From Monday 07 September, families who need a Certificate of Catholic Practice (CCP) for secondary school entry in the 2027/28 academic year may collect an application form from the parish office. Completed forms must be returned by 2 October 2026. CCPs will be issued using the information provided to the parish team and returned in time for the school application deadline.
We are not proposing to make any changes to school applications this year for St Joseph’s Primary school. Parents will continue to provide a certificate of baptism and complete a (SIF) form provided by the school.
Our Shared Responsibility
As a parish team, we take seriously our responsibility for the education, wellbeing, and safety of all parishioners, especially the children and young people of our parish.
This reflects the longstanding and fundamental relationship between home, school, and parish. We are here to support you as you educate your children and help them grow in their Catholic faith.
May God continue to bless you and your families.
