St Bonaventure’s in Forest Gate has been nationally recognised for its exceptional 2015 performance by the Schools, Students and Teachers Network (SSAT).

Educational outcomes data analysis from SSAT has shown that the school is in the top 20% of schools nationally for high average grades achieved by students.

The school’s SSAT Educational Outcomes award will be presented at a regional celebration event held to draw attention to the work of high-achieving, improving and innovating schools and teachers.

I have the privilege of visiting a lot of schools and I am always impressed by the creativity of teachers in engaging and inspiring their students. I hope that SSAT’s Educational Outcomes award will highlight the professionalism, commitment and hard work of the Leaders, Teachers and Students at St Bonaventure’s. Recognising and sharing successes like this is at the heart of SSAT’s mission. So I am delighted to congratulate St Bonaventure’s on their achievement.”

Paul Halliwell, Headteacher of St Bonaventure’s said: “Once again I feel very proud of all that we do at this great school and to be recognised by the SSAT is a great honour. The staff in St Bonaventure’s work hard for the students and they take their mission seriously. We love our young people and we will do anything possible to give them the best opportunities and best future life choices. Our students respond by always doing the very best that they can.
