Sport and exercise are an integral part of St Joseph’s College. They are valued and important 
dimensions of life for all pupils. The school has a clear mission to be the premier school for sport and wellbeing in East Anglia and beyond. The vision is to develop the best in every individual through sport and physical activity, via a programme that is inclusive, flexible and aspirational. 

St Joseph’s College has a long reputation of success in Rugby Football. There are high levels of enthusiastic participation throughout the school, and a record of competitive success in the game over several decades. Many players regularly achieve representative honours at regional, academy and national levels. The game is delivered by an experienced team of coaches, supplemented by a well qualified support staff. The internationally known National Schools’ Rugby Festival- hosted by the College in October each year – is the premier Under 18 competition in Europe.

The Head of Girls' Rugby will be a committed role model, creating a positive and fun environment which motivates young people to love the game, participate enthusiastically and apply themselves to improvement. A capacity to create positive relationships with players of all ages and abilities is essential.
