  Well, I don't really know what to say!

Pitted against a large number schools from the surrounding area (Enmore, Kingsmoor, St John and St Francis, Somerset Bridge, St Joseph's Bridgwater, Nether Stowey, Eastover, Otterhampton and Hamp) the St Joseph's children ran, jumped and threw their way to an amazing victory! WHAT A BRILLIANT TEAM EFFORT FROM EVERYONE CONCERNED .........You all worked so hard and should be very proud of yourselves. CONGRATULATIONS ON A WELL DESERVED VICTORY!!!!!!! 

  

• Cross Country Runners Shine.....Again!

  Thu 02 Feb 2023 Mr Fisher

  A huge well done to the 20+ girls and boys who represented St Joseph's in the latest cross country held at King Alfred's. We had some amazing performances from all of our Year 3 and Year 5 representatives in once again rather cold and testing conditions! The overall competition is very close and the St Joseph's children have undoubtedly bridged the gap between themselves and the first place team! With one more set of races to go for our Year 4 and Year 6 children, it's all to play for! School results are below:
