At St Bonaventure’s, we are lucky to have a very special relationship with our alumni, many of whom return to the school regularly for talks, events, and even employment opportunities. Alumni are an important part of our school community, and we strive to maintain regular communication with them, sharing details about engaging activities and professional networking events.
We send a dedicated alumni newsletter every quarter to keep our former students informed about relevant school news and notify them of potential job or volunteering opportunities. Make sure you stay connected by signing up for our official alumni database in partnership with FutureFirst – sign up now!
Please also follow us on LinkedIn, and you can now list your place of education as St Bonaventure’s allowing you to connect with other former students:
Alumni Fund
Newham remains one of the most deprived London boroughs. Many of our students’ families face numerous challenges, with some balancing more than one job during unsocial hours just to try to make ends meet. The St Bonaventure’s Alumni Fund will make a real difference to the everyday lives of our boys and girls.
This money will allow us to respond directly to the needs of our current students:
- £150 would provide a Chromebook to be gifted to a student
- £80 allows a suit to be purchased for a university interview
- £60 funds a food voucher for a family in need
- £40 can provide a blazer
- £25 pays for a pair of shoes
- £15 will cover meals in school for a week for a student who falls just outside Government funding criteria
- £10 is the cost of revision materials for a student in one subject

Alumni Future First
Sign up to our Future First database, we use this to help organise career days, so make sure you are signed up so that you can see our requests for participants in our career days. We know we have successful alumni in a wide range of fields, and it would be great to show the diversity of careers of our alumni, so please do sign up.
We are also particularly looking to hear from more of our female alumni who are interested in coming in to inspire and work with our 6th form girls.
