3rd Place Finish For Tag Rugby Team In Area Tournament!
Tue 12 Mar 2024Yesterday evening a team of 5 girls and 4 boys from St Joseph's travelled all the way to Brymore Academy in Cannington to compete in this years Sedgemoor Area Tag Rugby Tournament. With very little experience of playing this game other than a 45 minute crash course delivered by Mr Fisher the week before, the team performed amazingly well! Their performances got better and better with every game and by the end of the competition we were holding our own with the very best schools at the event. With 12 teams taking part, a third place finish is just remarkable and credit has to go to every one of the children who took part in the competition. Your ability to adapt to playing a new sport was just fantastic to watch and I'm sure that if we attend future events, you will continue to impress. WELL DONE EVERYONE!!

Wed 07 Feb 2024A brilliant performance from our Year 2 Gymnasts this morning saw them finish the Key Steps Area Competition with a team silver medal!

Marvellous Girls Compete at County Football Finals
Mon 22 Jan 2024Today 10 of our footballing girls braved the elements and travelled to Strode College in Street to compete in the ESFA County Finals. The competition was fierce with the best schools from across the County coming together for the competition and I'm happy to say that the girls from St Joseph's didn't let us down! Playing 5 extremely competitive games, the girls ended the day with wins, draws and loses. Not quite enough to progress to the semi-finals, but a fantastic experience for all concerned and some remarkable football played by everyone in the team. Fantastic work girls, I felt very honoured to be your coach for the day!

Boys Perform Brilliantly at ESFA County Finals
Wed 17 Jan 2024A huge well done to the 10 boys who represented the Sedgemoor Area (and St Joseph's school) at the ESFA large schools County Finals held at Strode College today.
