BOYS WIN ESFA QUALIFIER!
Thu 10 Oct 2024A brilliant performance once again from our boys football team saw them triumph as overall competition winners in the ESFA football qualifiers for the Sedgemoor region. The boys played four group stage matches winning all of their games and finishing top of the group! They then went on to play against the second placed team from the neighboring group in the semi-finals which they won (1-0). A closely contested final saw the boys progress to a nerve-racking penalty shoot out which I'm pleased to say they won and were crowned area champions! St Joseph's will now represent the Sedgemoor area in the prestigious county finals at the beginning of next year. Superb effort boys!

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!
