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. St Joseph's just sneaks into the large schools category for this event which means that we have to compete against schools that are over 3 times the size of us!
The boys were ultra competitive throughout the afternoon and played some remarkable football. Although the team didn't make it out of the group phase, they finished the day with 2 draws, 2 loses and a win in extremely cold playing conditions which is just amazing! Well done boys, I hope you enjoyed the experience and I look forward to watching you in action in the next competition.

Today I had the pleasure of watching our Year 3/4 Sports Hall Athletics Team run, jump and throw their way to a silver medal in the Year 3/4 Sedgemoor Sports Hall Athletics Finals!!

Christmas Cross Country and St Joseph's move up to third!
Fri 15 Dec 2023With all the festive fun taking place around the school, it was great to see 23 St Joseph children representing the school in the second area cross country race of the year.
There was some fantastic running from everyone who raced and we even saw Freya winning the Year 3 Girls race and Isaac winning the Year 5 Boys race, a remarkable achievement from both of these children considering the level of competition on show!
As always, all the children who compete earn points for the school and I'm happy to say that we have moved up to third position in the league standings out of the 20 schools taking part - GREAT WORK FROM ALL THE CHILDREN WHO RACED AND HELPED TO MOVE OUR SCHOOL UP A POSITION IN THE LEAGUE TABLE!
With the last race of the year taking part at The King Alfred School, I'll keep my fingers crossed for another strong effort!

Year 2 Athletics Festival Fun!
Thu 07 Dec 2023The whole cohort of Year 2 children had a brilliant morning of athletics fun today as they participated in a huge Key Stage 1 Festival! Picked up at 9.15am, a coach transported the class all the way to Bridgwater College where the children were met by Mr Irish and a number of Bridgwater College students. A Number of exciting activities had been prepared by the students in the Sports Hall, including a series of inter school relay races to round off a busy morning of athletics fun! All the children were smiling throughout the event and I'm sure will sleep really well this evening after exerting so much energy in each of the activities.

Girls Football Team Conquer All!
Thu 30 Nov 2023Well I don't really know what to say other than an enormous well done to our Girls Football Team who travelled all the way to Bridgwater College today to play football in a Sedgemoor Area Tournament. The conditions today were absolutely freezing, but that didn't stop our girls from emerging from the competition as overall winners! In total the team played 8 games against a selection of other schools from around the Sedgemoor area. We finished the competition with 7 wins and a draw, scoring 25 goals and conceding just the 2! A remarkable performance from all the girls concerned and one which will earn them a place in the County Finals being held in January. Just brilliant!!

We will remember them
Sat 11 Nov 2023Today we listened to a Remembrance Assembly led by Mrs Lamb and Mrs Chrystall.
It really made us think of our Ancestors who fought in the War. Remembering those who gave their lives long ago is an important act that honours those who have passed and reminds us of the bravery of our current-day veterans and active-duty members of the Armed Forces, some of whom have also died or been injured in the service of our nation. At the Remembrance Day parade on Sunday, Mrs Green presented a Poppy Wreath on behalf of everyone at St Joseph's School.

2nd and 3rd Place for Footballing Girls!
Tue 07 Nov 2023Today, both of our Girls football teams played in a Sedgemoor Area Schools competition. Both teams of girls were split into two separate pools against six other schools from around the area and they ALL performed remarkably well.
After all of the pool matches had been played, one of our teams finished with two wins and a loss, with the other team remaining unbeaten with two wins and a draw.
We ended up with one team in the 3rd/4th place final which I'm happy to say they won and finished a magnificent 3rd place! This left our other team of girls contesting the overall competition final! A amazing battling display saw a final score of 0-0 and meant they ended the competition with a nerve racking penalty shoot out!
Unfortunately, someone has to lose in a final and although the girls took some brilliant penalties and Amelia made a great save, they were just piped by Hamp Academy.
A TRUELY BRILLIANT PERFORMANCE FROM ALL THE GIRLS - WELL DONE!
