St Joseph’s, Burnham-on-sea What an exciting term it has been at St Joseph’s. Our Year 3 and Year 5 pupils had a fantastic time at The Museum of Somerset in Taunton, where they stepped back in time making soap, writing with quills, visiting an Almshouse and exploring fascinating artefacts from the past. Year 4 also enjoyed an inspiring visit to Police Headquarters as part of their Mini Police programme. Our sports teams have had a brilliantly busy few weeks too. Congratulations to our Girls’ Football Team, who represented the Trust at the ESFA County Finals, and to our Athletics Team, who secured an impressive 4th place in the County Finals. Our Year 2 Gymnastics Team proudly placed 3rd in their area competition, while the Year 4 Futsal Team finished as runners up locally—well done everyone! A number of pupils also shone at the Highbridge Festival Set Verse Speaking competition, returning with medals and big smiles. We have celebrated a love of stories throughout the term. For World Book Day 2026, pupils took part in Secret Stories—signing up for a book based only on its title before discovering their mystery reader and enjoying 45 minutes of shared storytelling. During National Storytelling Week, the whole school also came together for a special school-wide story experience. Finally, a huge congratulations to our Year 6 pupil who represented the school beautifully in the DCET Public Speaking Competition with a thoughtful speech on the preferential option for the poor. We also marked Safer Internet Day with important discussions on staying safe and responsible online.
