• Year 5 Boys Reach County Futsal Finals!!

  Thu 26 Feb 2015
  The Year 5 Boys stormed to victory last night in the Area Futsal Finals! Playing against the best teams in the Sedgemoor area they won two of their games 4-0 and drew the other 2-2. The boys have now earned themselves a place in the prestigious County Finals being held at Millfield school in April. Good luck to them!! 

• Cross Country Runners Finish 4th

  Wed 25 Feb 2015
  A huge well done to the children of St Joseph's who competed in the latest cross country race held at Brymore school in Cannington. This was a fast, but challenging course with plenty of uphill, down hill and even the odd hay bale to negotiate. The children all ran extremely well and should be very proud of themselves. With 38 children competing in the different age group races, I am pleased to announce that we have finished 4th overall in this years competition (there were in excess of 20 schools entered). This is a fantastic result considering two of the schools above us are twice the size of ours! A great effort from all concerned and I look forwards to next years competition.

  Plans for Emergency Closure of the School 2014/15

  
  Now that winter is well and truly underway, we thought it would be useful to outline the procedures in place for any school closures during extreme weather conditions.
  It is the intention to keep the school open unless there are severe weather conditions i.e. snow or insufficient heating. During spells of extremely wet/snowy weather please send your children with Wellington boots (to be changed in school) and warm clothing.
  Should we experience icy or snowy conditions, every effort will be made to clear or de-ice the main entrances and footpaths into the buildings. Once in school pupils will be kept for the whole school day, unless conditions deteriorate. It is important that you are aware of the following ways we intend to communicate any school closures to you.

  
  Texting - we can text you as long as we have your up to date mobile phone number.
