"Together we inspire each other to flourish in faith, hope and love."
Catholic Salesian ethos; Catholic Life; chaplaincy and Salesian charism are at the heart of teaching and school life.
A very warm welcome to St John Bosco Arts College’s website. Our college is an exciting, vibrant and dynamic girls’ Catholic comprehensive school which has a very distinctive Salesian ethos grounded in support, care and a warm friendly atmosphere. We emphasise developing students academically, spiritually, morally and socially within a Salesian framework and strive to provide the best opportunities for our young people.
At St John Bosco Arts College we strive to create an Inclusive environment that recognises the needs of all young people, including those with special educational needs and disabilities, and provides a broad and fulfilling educational experience, which raises aspirations and expectations and prepares everyone for adulthood. High quality, adaptive teaching is central to this. Teachers receive training on the four areas of SEND needs, and guidance on how to adapt their teaching, to best support students. When needed, further intensive intervention support is also put in place, to support students to build and foster key skills e.g. Social Communication, or Emotional Literacy.
