A message from the Head Teacher

We are delighted to be working in partnership with Osiris, a leading educational trainer, and becoming one of their first ‘Host Schools’. We believe that quality, tailor- made professional development was one of the key ingredients in St John Bosco Arts College becoming a successful and high achieving centre of educational excellence.

Osiris has worked with us for a number of years now. As a Host School we are able to combine some of the best training experiences that Osiris has to offer, with some of the local training needs that may be crucial to a school’s next stage of development. We have been impressed by the commitment Osiris has shown in ensuring that the CPD we have developed together is very relevant and tailored to the individual needs of our school community. The value this has brought to our staff team has been second to none and most importantly has had a direct impact into raising standards in teaching and learning where it most matters – in the classroom!
We look forward to working with you as a Host School for Osiris and working together in ensuring that each student’s journey through education is touched by truly inspiring and motivated professionals.
