Year 5 Thrive In Sedgemoor Area Sports!
Thu 04 Jul 2024Well I don’t really know what to say other than a huge congratulations to our Year 5 Area Sports team who flew the flag for St Joseph’s and finished a brilliant 3rd (out of 8 schools) in this year’s Sedgemoor Area Sports. The result is a spectacular effort and even more impressive as the competition is aimed at Years 5 and 6 children. With our Year 6 away on camp, the team was made up entirely of Year 5 children, so to finish 3rd in such a competition is just amazing and a credit to the sporting talent we have moving up through the school. Well done all of you and I look forward to next year’s event where you will all be eligible to compete again! The future looks rosy!

Fri 24 May 2024The cricket on display this afternoon from both the girls and boys was just amazing! Travelling all the way to Wembdon Cricket Club in Bridgwater, our two teams pitted themselves against the best schools in the area. There were a total of 25 schools represented from across Sedgemoor (15 boys teams and 10 girls teams).
Firstly, the girls competed and continued to grow in confidence with every game. They got better and better securing a fantastic win at the end of the competition.

3rd Place Finish For Tag Rugby Team In Area Tournament!
Tue 12 Mar 2024Yesterday evening a team of 5 girls and 4 boys from St Joseph's travelled all the way to Brymore Academy in Cannington to compete in this years Sedgemoor Area Tag Rugby Tournament. With very little experience of playing this game other than a 45 minute crash course delivered by Mr Fisher the week before, the team performed amazingly well! Their performances got better and better with every game and by the end of the competition we were holding our own with the very best schools at the event. With 12 teams taking part, a third place finish is just remarkable and credit has to go to every one of the children who took part in the competition. Your ability to adapt to playing a new sport was just fantastic to watch and I'm sure that if we attend future events, you will continue to impress. WELL DONE EVERYONE!!
