It was a valuable opportunity to encourage empathy and help children understand how they can support one another. ### A Strong Sense of Community The day was filled with reflection, conversation and collective support, highlighting the strength of our school community. Coming together for such an important cause showed the caring and inclusive values we hold at the heart of our school. ### Standing Together We are incredibly proud of how our pupils embraced the day and its message. **A wonderful day of awareness, learning and support - thank you to everyone who took part.** ![](https://st-joseph-s-catholic-primary-school-billingham-2.schudio.com/images/698622137_1360608392786511_4588868400516211288_n.jpg)![](https://st-joseph-s-catholic-primary-school-billingham-2.schudio.com/images/701230562_1360608336119850_214403525399490396_n.jpg) [ A Well‑Deserved Treat: Year 6 Celebrate SATs Success](https://st-joseph-s-catholic-primary-school-billingham-2.schudio.com/news/2026-05-15-a-well-deserved-treat-year-6-celebrate-sats-success) [Athletics Success: Team Spirit Shines at Sports Village ](https://st-joseph-s-catholic-primary-school-billingham-2.schudio.com/news/2026-05-20-athletics-success-team-spirit-shines-at-sports-village) ![St. Joseph's Catholic Primary School](https://files.schudio.com/st-joseph-s-catholic-primary-school-billingham-2/images/logo/Bishop_Hogarth_and_Hexham_Logo_new_(1).png) ### St. Joseph's Catholic Primary School Low Grange Avenue Billingham TS23 3NN 01642 560056 - [Office 365](https://outlook.office365.com/carmel.org.uk) - [Remote Access](https://remote.carmel.org.uk/) - [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/St-Josephs-Billingham-103735271280859/) - [Liturgy](https://liturgy.bhcet.org.uk/) - [Teams FAQs](https://bhcet.org.uk/information/teams-faqs/) - [Newsletters](https://st-joseph-s-catholic-primary-school-billingham-2.schudio.com/news-events/newsletters) - [Accelerated Reader](https://global-zone61.renaissance-go.com/welcomeportal/6709571) ### Social Media - [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/St-Josephs-Billingham-103735271280859/) - [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/stjosephs_billingham/) ### Translation ### Office 365 [Sign in to Office 365](https://outlook.office.com/) © Copyright 2025–2026 St. Joseph's Catholic Primary School School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://st-joseph-s-catholic-primary-school-billingham-2.schudio.com/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
