St JOSEPH'S NURSERY
The proposal to open a nursery at St Joseph’s Catholic Primary School, Goole has been formally approved. From 1 January 2027, St Joseph’s will welcome children from the age of three, offering a Catholic early years nursery education in the heart of our community. The response to our consultation was positive, and we are immensely grateful to all those who took the time to respond.
Our nursery will provide 15- and 30-hour funded places for three-year-olds, in a warm, faith-filled environment that reflects the values of our Catholic community. St Joseph’s has always been a school at the heart of this parish, and we are proud to extend that welcome to even younger children and their families.
If you know of any families who may be interested in a nursery place at St Joseph’s from January 2027 onwards, please do encourage them to contact the school.
