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. 

It is a school where all boys and girls participate enthusiastically, and many strive to excel. St 
Joseph’s is one of a very small number of independent schools accredited as a TASS Dual Career Centre.

Many pupils win representative honours at regional and national levels, and regularly progress 
to elite and professional sport after school. Teams and individuals are successful at the highest levels. In 2022–3, the Under 18 Girls’ Football team won the County Cup, IFSA Trophy and ESFA 
Cup; the 1st XV finished 5th in the College’s annual Rugby Festival and is currently enjoying the 
most successful season in recent years. Additional sports flourish alongside, and others are 
rapidly catching up
