• St Joseph's Trio Medal in County Cross Country!

  Thu 30 Apr 2026 Mr Fisher

  Yesterday I had the pleasure of travelling all the way to Yeovil after school to watch three of of children compete for the Sedgemoor Area in this year's County Cross Country. Racing against the fastest children across the County of Somerset, this trio of superstars did not disappoint! All three of them ran brilliantly in the sperate Year 3/4 Boys and Girls races with the Sedgemoor Girls teams finishing in second place and the Boys team going one better and winning the team prize. A special mention must go to one of our girls who finished with an individual silver medal - a remarkable achievement and even more impressive as she has another year in that age group! Great work from all three of you!!

  

• The Big Lent Walk for CAFOD

  Mon 27 Apr 2026 R. Williams

  We are thrilled to share the news that collectively as a result of our 'Big Lent Walk' our children have raised a massive £1,363.00 for CAFOD.  Our money will help communities like Bayezid's in Bangladesh.  In some parts of the world, there is too little rain.  In Bangladesh , there is too much.  The result is the same-seeds don't grow, plants die and families go hungry.

  With CAFOD's help, communities in Bangladesh are building floating gardens that are immune to floods, allowing them to grow enough food to eat and sell, helping them make a living.

  

• Year 4 Gymnasts perform amazingly in Key Steps competition!

  Wed 18 Mar 2026 Mr Fisher

  A huge well done to the talented Year 4 gymnasts who represented the school in this years Key Steps Area competition. Travelling all the way to St Joseph's in Bridgwater, the team of 4 boys and 4 girls competed against 7 other schools from around the area in a bid to be crowned Sedgemoor Area champions. The squad of 8 had to learn and perform a fairly complex routine involving a backwards roll, a cartwheels, an arabesque, a shoulder stand, a half turn jump as well as a front, side and back support! Once again, even under the pressure of being judged with their movements, this fantastic group of 8 children did not disappoint. The were hugely supportive of each other throughout the competition and the gymnastics on display was just brilliant! Well done all of you, you were a credit to the school and should be very proud of yourselves.

  

• Year 4 Futsal Team Finish Runners Up In Sedgemoor Area Tournament

  Thu 12 Feb 2026 Mr Fisher

  A brilliant display of football yesterday afternoon saw our Year 4 Futsal team finish runners up in a local area competition. The team lost just the one game in the whole tournament, winning everything else and narrowly missing out on overall victory due to goal difference. It was great to see such passion, energy and determination throughout the games and I'm sure that many of these players will be wearing the St Joseph's orange kits in future opportunities. Well done boys!  

  

• Year 2 Gymnastics Team Finish 3rd In Sedgemoor Area Competition!

  Wed 11 Feb 2026 Mr Fisher

  A huge well done to the Year 2 Gymnastics team who represented the school today in the Sedgemoor Area Finals. The mixed team of girls and boys finished a fantastic 3rd place in an extremely close fought competition; just 0.3 points separated the top three teams! For all these children it was their first experience of competitive sport against other schools. To perform and be judged on a routine you have been taught is not easy at all but this team did not disappoint and were just brilliant in their execution! Well done all of you - YOU WERE AMAZING!!

  

• Sports Hall Athletics Team Finish 4th in County Finals

  Thu 22 Jan 2026 Mr Fisher

  This was an extraordinary result for out Sports Hall Athletics team! Having finished in 3^rd place at the Sedgemoor Area trials, facing competition from the best athletes in the County was always going to be a challenge! But lets not forget how magnificent these St Joseph’s children are! They never cease to amaze me with their attitude and effort throughout competitions and this event was no different. The team completed every single relay race without making a single mistake. In the field events they jumped and threw with immense passion and determination against the best in the County. Overall, the result was just amazing and the whole team could not have done more. To finish as the 4^th best small school in the County is yet another incredible achievement for this cohort of children, especially as 14 of them are still eligible to compete next year! ……. I couldn’t be prouder!!

  

• FOOTBALLING GIRLS ARE AMAZING IN COUNTY FINALS!

  Thu 15 Jan 2026 Mr Fisher

  Yesterday I had the pleasure of accompanying our Girls football team to the ESFA County Finals where they were representing the Sedgemoor Area in this prestigious event. The competition was extremely fierce throughout the day but the girls once again did not disappoint and played some tremendous football while demonstrating such a positive attitude and sportsmanship throughout the entire competition. The girls won, lost and drew games but their spirit, effort and energy levels never dropped. A truly magnificent display! Well done all of you.
