A special well done to our student Pilgrims who made Bathurst and Milner very proud!

What a brilliant Culture Day at SB! 🌍 From multilingual collective worship to delicious food sales and a lively lunchtime filled with music from around the world, the whole community came together to support our Sixth Form Lourdes pilgrimage! #FaithInAction
Representatives from the school are currently at St Austin’s Catholic Church in Stafford recording the new St Gabriel the Archangel MAT hymns.
All the students representing the 64 schools are in fantastic voice.
It was amazing for our students to attend the Fire and Security Careers Fayre. Students had the opportunity to explore apprenticeships, and share knowledge showcasing the incredible career pathways in fire & security.
A wonderful day today for our "Bathurst Day" celebrations in honour of our Patron and our school community- marked with a beautiful Mass celebrated by Bishop Timothy Menezes and our School Chaplain Fr Roger. What a fantastic day together in Steadfast Faith!
Our Year 7 students had a wonderful opportunity to visit the parish of St Mary's on the Hill today, touring and learning the history of the Church and reflected through the Stations of the Cross - especially meaningful as our Patron is a part of the Parish History! #FaithInAction
