St Joseph's Primary is a proud member of St Oscar Romero , which was established in the Archdiocese of Southwark in 2021. St Oscar Romero has a clear vision with Christ at the centre of all our work, leading to the development of a family of schools that work equitably, collaboratively and in communion to serve the children, families and staff in our care.
We aim for excellence in all that we do. Our schools are remarkable places of learning and love. Each school within St Oscar Romero has a Local Governing Body responsible for the oversight of the school and monitors its performance and standards.
The St Oscar Romero Trust Board and its committees are responsible for setting the strategic direction of the Trust and ensuring that all parts of the governance structure are working effectively. For further information about St Oscar Romero , please visit where you will find a more in-depth view of our background, aims and vision for the future.
