The Big Lent Walk for CAFOD
Mon 27 Apr 2026We 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 2026A 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 2026A 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!

Thu 22 Jan 2026This was an extraordinary result for out Sports Hall Athletics team! Having finished in 3rd 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 4th 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!!

Cross Country Superstars At It Again!
Fri 24 Oct 2025Wednesday and Thursday of this week saw 32 children from St Joseph's compete in the first cross country race of the season. The conditions on the Brymore course were fairly good this year, apart from it being little windy! With 392 athletes from across the region racing over the two days, the girls and boys from Years 3, 4, 5 and 6 did not disappoint. They were just brilliant!

A great effort from everyone concerned! Below is a copy of the current league standings after Race 1:
