Our website aims to tell you about life here, how we work and what we feel is important to us as a school community. St. Joseph's Camberwell Catholic Schools' Federation is comprised of two voluntary aided Catholic schools working together to meet the needs of our vibrant community here in the heart of Camberwell.
Our schools offer a distinctly Catholic education in an inclusive environment, welcoming children and staff of all faiths and none. Here, all that we do is rooted in our Catholic faith, as we bring to life the lessons that Jesus Christ taught us.
Our vibrant, multi-cultural school is united by its faith, and we encourage all members, children, staff, parents and governors to share, grow and flourish in faith and love. We celebrate the many different cultures under one roof. We have high expectations of all our children.
We place great emphasis on personal, social and emotional development by encouraging caring attitudes, mutual respect, self-discipline and self-confidence. We take pride in our diverse community and celebrate our cultural and linguistic diversity.
