Welcome

Dear Parents/Carers and new students to St Bonaventure’s.

Thank you for choosing St Bonaventure’s as your son’s preferred secondary school. This is an exciting next step on the learning journey but it can also be stressful for some. I am excited to be able to have a full induction programme for this year.

A letters will be sent out with full details in June

Induction week:

First day  – Tuesday 2nd September – 8:45 am – 1pm

Wednesday 3rd September onwards – 8:45am – 3:25pm

Curriculum Evening:

A Letter with full details be sent out in September

Please look at the ‘frequently asked questions’ below, which might answer some of your general queries.  

Activities will be posted later in the term for your son to do. They are not compulsory but hopefully you will find them fun and they will give a flavour of what we do here at St Bonaventure’s.

If you are concerned about the transition process and would like to have a conversation with me about your son, then leave your contact details and I will get back to you as soon as possible.
