Welcome to St. Joseph’s Catholic Primary School Hendon

St. Joseph’s Catholic Primary School is a vibrant and historic part of the neighbourhood of Hendon in North West London. Founded in 1882 initially as a boarding school, the school has survived two World Wars and gone from strength to strength. We work to give our children the best possible education in the fullest sense of the word – academically, spiritually and emotionally.

The gospel principles of loving your neighbour, of compassion and of justice permeate all aspects of our school life. We are a friendly and outward-looking school community, welcoming families from all parts of the world. We are proud of our success in academic exams and achievements on the sports field, and we also have good links with local, national and international charities and organizations.

Please take time to browse our website to find out more about the school and the fantastic activities we are involved in.

    Barnet Carer Forum - Friday 3rd October 2.30pm
    Dear Parents and Carers, You are invited to join myself and Lisa Coffman from Barnet Parent Carer Forum on Friday 3rd October at 2.30pm. Barnet Parent Carer Forum is a voluntary group of parents and family carers in the London Borough of Barnet working with the local authority to ensure that the voices of our children young people and their families are heard. Why get involved? You are the expert. If you are the parent of a child who has Special Educational Needs and/or Disabilities, then you are an expert on the support and services that your child and their family need. Here is an opportunity for you to share this knowledge with others, including the professionals who make decisions that directly affect you. You have insight. This is your chance to give local authority officers and other decision makers a unique insight into the impact of services on the lives of families with disabled children, and contributing to service development from the service users perspective. Develop yourself. Other forums report that parents volunteering their time can have raised self- esteem and develop other skills and experience. If you would like to find out more, please join us at 2.30pm on 3/10/25 in the CK hall. Many thanks, Jodie Connolly SENCo
