Admissions
St Joseph’s Catholic Primary School is a Catholic school under the trusteeship of the Archdiocese of Liverpool and is maintained by Wigan Council. As a Voluntary Aided school, the Governing Body is the Admissions Authority and is responsible for making decisions on applications for admission. The coordination of admissions arrangements is managed by the Local Authority.
The Governing Body has set the Published Admission Number (PAN) at 30 pupils.
As a Catholic school, our principal role is to take part in the mission of the Catholic Church by providing an environment in which children can grow in their understanding of the Good News and develop in the practice of their faith. The school supports pupils in developing fully as individuals and prepares them to take their place as responsible members of society.
Parents applying for a place at St Joseph’s are asked to respect the Catholic ethos and values that are central to the life of the school. However, this does not affect the right of parents who are not of the Catholic faith to apply for a place for their child, and all applications will be considered in line with the school’s admissions policy.
