St Joseph’s College feels different. We are very proud of the special ethos at St Joseph’s, an independent day and boarding school for boys and girls aged 2 to 18, which combines strong Christian values with a unique approach to supporting and nurturing children within a family environment. We challenge all of our students to ‘be their best’ in every aspect of College life and set high standards for everyone in our community. Parents, pupils and staff work together to ensure that we produce confident pupils without arrogance, team players who will stand up for what is right and compassionate, caring members of society. You are warmly invited to visit us at our beautiful 60 acre campus in Ipswich to discover for yourself what makes St Joseph’s feel so different.

We look back on the concluding day of the National Schools Rugby Festival. One incredible weekend, rugby at it's highest level.

What a privilege it has been, to host for the 40th year, a festival showcasing school rugby of the highest calibre. There has been outstanding skill, intensity and dedication throughout the whole weekend.

There is something truly special about seeing our campus come alive with such exceptional rugby, and welcoming schools from across the country to compete at the highest level. Today we welcomed our U11 teams who took to the pitch with confidence, flair and tremendous team spirit.

We are immensely proud of our U18 boys today who represented our school with determination and pride.

After two days of fierce competition, we wish a huge congratulations to Cheltenham on lifting the trophy.

Thank you to every school, player, coach, official, supporter and members of our community who helped make this festival such a memorable celebration of school rugby.
