Our 6th Form Open evening is taking place tomorrow, and we very much look forward to welcoming you.
Please note: All students must come with a parent / carer or responsible adult. We must insist on this as we believe that choosing a 6th Form is an important decision which students should ...not make without additional guidance from family members.
We will have student tour guides and student helpers for each of our 6th Form curriculum areas and there will be Headteacher / Director of 6th Form talks at 6pm / 6:45pm and 7:30pm.
Car Parking: We will have a small number of parking spaces on the night and the gates will open at 5:45pm, local parking restrictions cease at 6:30pm, so this should help those of you arriving later.

Today, our school had the honour of attending the Holocaust Memorial Day commemoration at Stratford Old Town Hall, alongside the Mayor of Newham, Rokhsana Fiaz OBE, local dignitaries, fellow Newham schools including St Helen’s Primary School, and members of the wider community.
It was a ...powerful and moving occasion, offering all present the opportunity to reflect, remember, and stand united against hatred and prejudice.
We are immensely proud of Ryan, Reno, Woody, Jayden, Jessica, and Dilan for representing St Bon’s with such dignity and respect. Their reflections on our Patron Form Saint, St Maximilian Kolbe — the Franciscan priest imprisoned in Auschwitz for sheltering Jewish refugees and ultimately killed as a result — were particularly moving. Through their words and conduct, they honoured the past and reaffirmed our shared commitment to a more compassionate future.
Jessica was moved to say, “ Today is not just about remembering the past, it is also about our calling, to reject hatred, racism, and antisemitism in all its forms”.

Our Laudato Si’ students have been carrying out a biodiversity survey, exploring the wildlife living on the Friary lawn at St Bonaventure’s.
Over a week, they recorded 73 animals across 11 species, from birds (Gulls, Robins, Blue Tits, Wood Pigeons) and insects (Bumble Bees, Lady ...Birds, Dragon Fly) to a surprise fox sighting - showing that nature thrives even in winter.
Students worked collaboratively, developing skills in teamwork, observation and care for creation. The project ended with key sustainability recommendations, including practical actions to further support biodiversity on the school site, which we look forward to implementing in the next few weeks.
