God gave them learning and skill in all literature and wisdom.

Daniel 1:1

At St Joseph’s we ensure that we teach pupils to speak, read and write English fluently so that they can communicate their ideas and emotions to others and through their reading and listening, others can communicate with them. Developing pupils skills in reading will enable them to develop culturally, emotionally, intellectually, socially and spiritually and the literature, we immerse children in, will play a key role in such development.
