College History
Bonus Pastor Catholic College, (known as Bonus Pastor RC School) opened in September 1958. The college is approaching its 50th anniverary later on this month.
The College Mission Statement
Through Faith to Success
Bonus Pastor is a Catholic Collge which, together with the home and church community, endeavours to provide a Christian environment in which Students and Staff are challenged to achieve their potential, intellectually, socially and spiritually. The College also strives to inculate in all its members a respect for dignity of others as well as sense of their own personal worth.
The highest standards of achievement, behaviour and personal response to gospel values are therefore expected and the steps by which these standards are achieved - study, prayer and self discipline - are to be valued.
College environment
Bonus Pastor is based on two sites. Years 7, 8 and 9 are taught on the Churchdown site; Years 10 and 11 on the Winlaton site. The two sites are 400m apart, a comfortable four-minute walk. There are plans under the Building Schools for the Future programme for Bonus Pastor to be rebuilt.
Our investment programme ensures the college has up-todate facilities, particularly in design technology, science, ICT and drama, a new state-of-the-art Learning Discovery Centre and we have a flexible library resource ICT centre. Interactive whiteboards are widely available throughout the school especially in all English, maths and science rooms. The playing fields in Whitefoot Lane, adjacent to the school, are used for games and athletics.
The College today
Bonus Pastor College is a voluntary aided, Roman Catholic, comprehensive school of around 750 boys and girls in the age range 11-16. In recent years, official KS2-KS4 value-added indicators have consistently put the school in the top 10%-15% of maintained schools.
The College works very closely with Northbrook School, Christ the King Sixth Form College and Lewisham College.
Student events
Students participate in a wide variety of extra curricular activities including the BBC's Student News Day.[3]
Dress code controversy
The school has a dress code that prohibits most forms of jewelry, except for small studs for girls and a watch. Studs are prohibited for boys, only a wristwatch may be worn. In one case a student created a controversy by wearing a crucifix.[4]
Hoodies, gloves, trousers and black socks for girls remain unacceptable.
