We were honoured to welcome Sir Stephen Timms, Member of Parliament for East Ham and Minister for Work and Pensions, for an engaging workshop with our students.
Sir Stephen shared reflections on his 31-year career in politics, outlining both the challenges and achievements of serving as an... MP and Minister. He also spoke about his involvement in local initiatives, particularly in transport and housing, which have contributed to improved living conditions and increased job opportunities for residents of Newham.
Students received valuable advice on pursuing careers in government and public service, as well as practical guidance on how young people can actively participate in democracy. The session concluded with a lively question-and-answer segment, which students found both interesting and inspiring. Students were concerned about the future of young people locally as well as global issues.
One student commented: “As someone who wants to pursue a career in politics, I found the workshop extremely insightful”
We are grateful to Sir Stephen for taking the time to share his experiences and for providing our students with such an inspiring and thought-provoking opportunity.

Congratulations to our Deputy Headteacher, Mr Lewis, on his work with @oxunipress on the latest phase of the "Source to Summit" Kerboodle and textbook series, which is the Key Stage 3 RE scheme that students in St Bonaventure's use 🙏
This milestone marks the completion of... the last major publishing phase of the "Source to Summit", which includes over 300 resources to work alongside the textbooks and more than 100 assessment items.
Mr Lewis commented: "It has been a privilege to be involved in writing a textbook series and resources for Catholic students across the country, but first and foremost, it provides a really high-quality, accessible way for our own students at St Bonaventure's to learn about the Catholic faith. It is great to see the books being used in our classrooms, and hearing the feedback from our students."
