St Bonaventure’s teacher, Aaron Senior, was awarded his Level 4 Basketball Referee title earlier this month by the British Basketball League.
Mr Senior undertook a year long course and had to pass a theory paper earlier in the year and fitness test before qualifying.
He was awarded his certificate in Sheffield at the English Institute of Sport.
26-year-old Mr Senior is Head of Year 9 and Leader of Student Progress and Development at St Bonaventure’s as well as being a basketball coach for the school team and Under 16 coach for ‘Youngbloods.’
Mr Senior now plans to study for his international referee qualification.
