Inspiration on and off the sports field

Sport is an integral thread in the tapestry of life at St Joseph’s College. We are proud of our rich and illustrious history of supporting elite student athletes.

We host the National Schools Rugby Festival, one of the most prestigious schoolboy rugby tournaments worldwide. The Festival has seen some of rugby’s biggest stars grace the St Joseph’s College pitches and we continue to witness many of our students progress into the professional world of rugby.

The opportunity to engage in sport doesn’t end on the rugby field. Our pioneering partnership with Ipswich Town Football Club continues to inspire both male and female students on the cusp of entering the professional game.

Other sporting opportunities abound: our elite programmes include netball, cricket and tennis and St Jo’s helps to inspire students to reach their fullest potential in their chosen sporting field, be it equestrian, trampolining, triathlon or hockey.

Sport is not the preserve of the elite at St Jo’s. The College facilitates a well-resourced, engaging participatory games and PE provision. Students learn the benefits of a healthy lifestyle, which stimulates a lifelong love of physical activity.
