• Year 3&4 Athletics Team Finish Runners Up In Area Sports!

  Wed 11 Jun 2025 Mr Fisher

  More sporting success for the children of St Joseph's! This week it was the turn of our Year 3&4 Athletics team who secured a magnificent silver medal in this year's Sedgemoor Area Sports. With 13 schools participating, the team of 8 girls and 8 boys  had to compete in 6 separate events; a 75m spring, a 400m long run, a 75m hurdles, the standing long jump, a vortex howler throw and a final relay to end off the afternoon!! There wasn't a moment to spare throughout the whole day and to come away with recognition of your hard work is always a bonus. Credit goes to all of the children  who displayed a brilliant attitude throughout the competition and were once again a credit to St Joseph's. It was particularly lovely to see the team supporting each  other in such a positive way. WELL DONE ALL OF YOU!

  

• Boys And Girls Cricket Teams Triumph In Area Competition!

  Fri 23 May 2025 Mr Fisher

  Another week of sporting success for the children of St Joseph's! This week it was the turn of our girls and boys cricket teams! An area competition held at Wembdon Cricket Club always draws in the crowds and the fine weather ensured that the event was incredibly well attended by schools from around the area.

  First up were our boys who were amazing, winning two of their games and losing two! Out of the six teams in their pool they finished a very credible 4th place, just losing out on 3rd place due to run rate!

  The girls were also magnificent and remained unbeaten across the whole competition! Their batting, bowling and fielding was phenomenal and the winning result secures them a place representing the area (and our school) in the prestigious County Finals next month! 

  Overall this was another great St Joseph's performance. Well done to everyone who represented the school today.....you were all brilliant!

  

• Year 5/6 Swim Team Finish 2nd In Area Gala!

  Fri 23 May 2025 Mr Fisher

  A huge well done to the children from Year 5 and 6 who represented the school this week in this year's Area Swimming Gala. Travelling all the way to Chilton Trinity Sports Centre (1610) to compete against the best swimmers in the area, the team of 21 children were just remarkable! Individual and relay performances were just brilliant but I was most impressed with the sense of team spirit throughout the competition. In my 28 years at the school we have never won an Area Gala and this year was the closest we have ever got; a magnificent 2nd place and just one point behind the winners!!! Well done Team St Joseph's!

• Year 1 Football Festival Fun!

  Thu 27 Mar 2025 Mr Fisher

  This morning all the Year 1 children from St Joseph's travelled on an adventure to Bridgwater College where they enjoyed two hours of football skills delivered by the Young Sports Leaders. Participating in a carousel of 8 activities, the children worked their way around each of the stations with a smile on their face! The quality of coaching on offer was exceptional as was the behaviour and focus displayed by all of our children participating. It was great to see interaction between schools and everyone I observed throughout the morning appeared to be having a huge amount of fun! It was a pleasure to see so many children active in what was an extremely well-organised and enjoyable event.

  

• Tag Rugby Success for Year 6 Superstars!

  Wed 26 Mar 2025 Mr Fisher

  This afternoon, a group of twenty Year 6 children travelled all the way to Bridgwater to play some friendly games of Tag Rugby against three other schools from the surrounding area. The boys and girls seemed to really enjoy this opportunity and it was evident that their rugby skills improved with every game. It was nice to see both our teams celebrating wins as well as congratulating the opposition when they lost. All the games were played with a really positive spirit and it was lovely to see such strong cohesion amongst this St Joseph's cohort, even when they had to play each other!! It was a very enjoyable way to spent a few hours outside of the classroom. 

   

  

• Year 3/4 Gymnasts Perform Brilliantly In Area Competition!

  Wed 19 Mar 2025 Mr Fisher

  Today our Year 3/4 Gymnastics team travelled all the way to compete in the Sedgemoor Area Gymnastics Finals in Bridgwater. Performing a fairly complex routine in front of judge, the children were just magnificent and credit to the school. The competition was incredibly competitive with over 80 children representing their schools from around the area. It was great to see the children of St Joseph's performing in such a confident and cheerful manner. Well done team, you were all amazing!

• Further CPD for Teachers in PE

  Thu 06 Mar 2025 Mr Fisher

  For the second half of the Spring Term, PE specialist John Irish has been working with the Junior teachers in helping to develop their delivery of Hockey (Year 3), Netball (Year 4), Tag Rugby (Year 5) and Football (Year 6). This is such a valuable opportunity for the teachers. Being given the chance to watch and learn from a specialist will hopefully continue to improve the delivery of future PE taking place across the school. 

  

• Year 2 Gymnasts Win Sedgemoor Area Competition!

  Wed 05 Mar 2025 Mr Fisher

  The Year 2 Gymnastics Club on Monday night has been incredibly popular with over 20 children attending each week! The children have been practicing a Key Steps routine as well as their vaulting skills.

  It is always difficult picking a team to represent the school, especially when the quality and effort from the whole cohort is so high but today seven of our children travelled to St Joseph's, Bridgwater to compete in the Sedgemoor Area competition. They were just superb and after performing their routine in front of a judge, they came away with a team gold medal! A remarkable  effort from such young children! Well done everyone!
