St Bonaventure's, known informally as St Bon's, is a voluntary-aided Catholic secondary school for boys aged 11–16 in Forest Gate, London Borough of Newham, England, with a mixed gender 6th Form for 16 - 18-year-old students.
It is under the trustee-ship of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Brentwood.
St Bonaventure's is the oldest boys' school in Newham, having been established in the West Ham area of Essex by the Franciscan order in 1875, following the Roman Catholic Relief Act 1829.
The school was established in its current location in 1877.
St Bonaventure's has been judged as Outstanding by Ofsted since November 2000.[1] The school motto is In Sanctitate Et Doctrina, which means "In Holiness And Learning".
The school also has a mission statement of "Live, Love & Learn In The Presence Of The Lord".[2]
In March 2016, St Bonaventure's was designated as a Teaching School and the Headteacher Mr Paul Halliwell was designated as a National Leader of Education by the Department for Education and the National College for Teaching and Leadership.[3]
History
St Bonaventure's was founded as a private Roman Catholic school in 1875 by members of the Franciscan order based in the Stratford area of London. They moved to the St Antony's parish of Forest Gate in 1877, when they needed more space to build a larger school. Before the outbreak of the Second World War and for some years thereafter pupils were drawn from a large part of the County of Essex as well as the whole of the County Borough of West Ham Following the Education Act 1918 control of the school was taken over by the newly formed West Ham Education Authority and the school changed its name to West Ham (St Bonaventure's) Grammar School.
Following the Education Act 1944, the school reverted to full control by the Franciscan Order as a Grammar school and soon after that became a Comprehensive school with a Tripartite nature (on the site there were Grammar, Secondary Modern and Technical streams). At this time the title of the school changed to St Bonaventure's. The current school jumper reflects this past, as the three stripes of colour were initially used to identify the three types of student in the school.[2]
School patron
The school is named for St Bonaventure, a Doctor of the Church. Aged 22, he joined the Order of St Francis and promised to lead a life of poverty, chastity and obedience.[4] He was made a Cardinal by Pope Gregory X in 1273.[4] The Feast day of the Patron is 15 July. This day is always cause for celebration in the school and is often used as an opportunity to give thanks to long serving members of staff.
Grammar school
It became a state secondary school following the Education Act 1902 in 1904, when schools with a religious nature could gain access to public funding, then in 1918 changed its name to West Ham Grammar School. In 1944, it became St Bonaventure's Grammar School again. The school has a strong relationship with St Antony's Church, which is adjacent to the site, and whole school masses are held there on a regular basis. It is governed by the Diocese of Brentwood and strongly encourages and incorporates liturgical worship in all aspects of school life.[5]
Comprehensive
The School was called a "Multilateral" in the Tripartite system of education in England, Wales and Northern Ireland in 1960 & became a boys' comprehensive for ages 11–19. The change to a comprehensive school was very successful, as illustrated by the Ofsted reports and the position of the school in the annual Attainment and Achievement Tables. The school gained Technology College status in 1994 and later it gained Language college status. As a High Attaining school it was also able to select a 3rd specialism and chose Applied Learning.[5] In the 2012 results St Bonaventure's was the highest performing school in Newham. The admissions criteria has shows that the school has a comprehensive intake, however due to over-subscription, priority is given to Year 6 students that are practicing Catholics.[5]
Teaching School
The school was designated as a Teaching School in February 2016. This means that the school has been judged as high performing and can take a lead role in training the next generation of school teachers, providing school to school support and supporting other teachers with their professional development.
There are other schools within a St Bonaventure's Teaching School Alliance and these are a range of Secondary schools from across the Roman Catholic Diocese of Brentwood, these include;
- St John's Special school, Chigwell
- St Angela's Ursuline School, Forest Gate
- St John Payne, Chelmsford
- St Thomas More, Westcliffe-On-Sea
- Campion School, Hornchurch
- New Hall Independent School, Chelmsford
- The Palmer Catholic Academy, Seven Kings
- St Benedict's School, Colchester
- De La Salle School, Basildon
- Holy Family Catholic School, Walthamstow
The schools have formed a Teaching School Alliance that is called the Agnus Dei Teaching School Alliance and St Mary's University, Twickenham is the Higher Education Institute partner.
School prayers
Prayer before lessons
O God, grant me a calm mind,
a quiet disposition
and an attentive ear.
So that through this lesson
I may learn to come to your truth.
St Bonaventure,
Pray For Us
Amen
The Peace Prayer Of St Francis
Lord, Make me an instrument of thy peace.
Where there is hatred, let me sow love.
Where there is injury, pardon.
Where there is doubt, faith.
Where there is despair, hope.
Where there is darkness, light.
Where there is sadness, joy.
O Divine Master,
grant that I may not so much seek to be
consoled as to console;
to be understood as to understand;
to be loved, as to love;
for it is in giving we receive,
it is in pardoning that we are pardoned,
and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.
Amen
Admissions
The vast majority of pupils are Roman Catholic; ethnic minorities represent the socio-economically deprived local catchment area. It is traditionally heavily oversubscribed for entry to Year 7 and accepts 186 students each year.[6]
Houses
Prior to 1969 the school's four houses were named Catherine, Clare, Francis and Mary after the four Saints on the school badge. For most of the sixties and seventies, the houses existed in name only. The current houses are listed below; Kolbe was introduced in 2014.

- Wall - St John Wall (priest), died 1679. A Franciscan friar ordained in Douai Abbey, and convicted for being a Priest and a Roman Catholic. He was beheaded on 22 August.[5]
School uniform and colours
The students in Year 7 & 8 wear a brown blazer to retain the old link with the Franciscan order. Students wear a white, collared formal shirt with the school tie. The trousers are black and black leather shoes are worn.[7] The schools coat is black with the school badge. A brown pullover V-necked jumper is also compulsory.[7]
The students in Years 9-11 wear a black blazer with gold edging to the lapels. Students wear a white, collared formal shirt with the school tie. The trousers are black with black leather shoes worn. A black pullover V-necked jumper is compulsory for Year 9 but is optional for Year 10 and 11.[7]
The standard tie is a solid gold colour with a black diagonal stripe going down from right to left. A selection of ties are available to be awarded to boys that excel in particular subjects. These are given following excellence shown in the areas of sport (an additional green stripe), technology (an additional red stripe), languages (an additional blue stripe) and art (an additional purple stripe).[7] In September 2011, a new tie for excellence in English and mathematics was awarded (an additional a pink stripe).[7] In 2013 a new RE tie was introduced, this will have an additional white stripe. In 2014, ties have been awarded for excellence in Science and Humanities. From 2015 the school has also awarded colours for success in Social Sciences and Computing.
The students in 6th Form wear a dark-coloured business suit with a formal shirt. Boys must also wear a neck-tie. Students on the Sports Science course must wear the designated black PE KIt when having practical sports sessions.[7]
School Crest
The school Badge and crest has existed in the present format since the school was founded by the Franciscan Order in the 19th Century.
The red hat (Galera) represents the fact that St Bonaventure was a Cardinal in the Roman Catholic church.
The white Fleur De Lys symbolises St Mary, the Mother of God. Illustrating that the school and all Bonaventurians have a particular devotion to Our Lady.[7]
The Jerusalem cross on a brown background symbolises the Franciscan heritage of the school. This is also demonstrated in the uniform for Year 7 and 8 and the names used for the school Houses.
The Wheel symbolises St Catherine of Alexandria, also known as Saint Catherine of the Wheel. Even in Medieval times she was the Patron Saint of educators.
The yellow shield on black background symbolises St Clare of Assisi. She was greatly influenced by the teachings of St Francis of Assisi. She eventually started the order of Poor Clares.[7]
The motto at the base of the coat of arms states In Sanctitate Et Doctrina, which translates as "In Holiness and Learning", showing that all "Bon's Boys" should be faithful at all times and always try to discover something new each day throughout their lives.[7] The motto has changed in the past; during the period as West Ham Grammar School through to the end of the Second World War the motto was Animo Et Fide (In Courage and Faith).

Basketball
In 2008 St Bonaventure's became English Schools Basketball Association Under 14 boys National Champions, and in doing so became the first team to achieve such a feat in the school's history.[5] It repeated the feat in 2015, with the Under 15 beating Holy Trinity and City of Leicester in the finals.[11]
In 2016 St Bon's beat all previous English Basketball records by all five Year groups becoming Basketball England National Champions. The Year 7 competed in the Junior NBA winning the final on 22 March 2016. On the weekend of Friday 6 May 2016 to Sunday 8 May 2016 Year 11 won, then Year 10, followed by Year 9 on Saturday then Year 8 on Sunday.This has never been achieved by any school ever before.
In September 2016, the school was accepted onto the elite Academy Basketball League (ABL) for post 16 due to the success of the school in all Year groups below the 6th Form.[12]
Football
In 2013, the Year 10 team won the prestigious Dewar Shield.[13] In 2015, the Year 9 football team became the under-14 Essex FA Jubilee Cup Champions[14] and the Year 7 Football Team won the Lyca Mobile WHUFC Community Cup.
