This is an even bigger achievement considering the huge amount of applications Clifford Chance received and the small amount of apprenticeships actually available. Eva and Adam follow in the footsteps of Sophie Perry and Aaron Whyte, St Joseph’s Law Alumni from 2024, who are both currently in their first year of the apprenticeship and doing brilliantly.

Mr. Mather and the Law and Politics Department are extremely proud of Eva and Adam, who will no doubt flourish in their new roles once they have completed their A Levels and we are very much looking forward to seeing their successes in the future!

In the morning it was the turn of the U13 girls and boys teams. Both teams played some brilliant stuff which ended in both teams winning the competition and being crowned North East Champions. In the afternoon it was the turn of our U15 boys team who were part of a really competitive tournament with some great sides from across the North East. The boys ended up tied for first place with 2 other teams and ultimately missed out on being crowned champions and a place in the national finals on goal difference. Congratulations to all three teams and their great success and good luck to our u13 teams who will play in Nottingham in June at the National finals.

Recently they were tasked with running a sports club on a lunchtime. The multi sport club has proven extremely popular with over 30 pupils attending each week. Volleyball was the best attended so far, allowing over 50 students to engage in physical activity during the school day. This linked well with the assembly they delivered on the importance of the government initiative of 60 active minutes which they presented to the whole of year 7 last week. An excellent effort from the leaders and a great example of what a positive role model looks like.

Our lads met their counterparts from Boldon & St Aidans schools in a repeat of Decembers fixtures. NBAJnr is competition ran by Basketball England whereby schools represent an NBA franchise. This year St Joseph’s represent the New Orleans Pelicans.
