WELCOME TO ST JOHN BOSCO ARTS COLLEGE TEACHING SCHOOL

St John Bosco Arts College is one of only 500 schools in England to be granted teaching school status in the third cohort of applications. The designation, by what was then the National College for School Leadership, entitles the College to lead the training and professional development for staff and to shape the future of the teaching profession.

‘The highest accolade a school can achieve’ Michael Gove, Secretary of State for Education.

The designation puts St John Bosco Arts College at the forefront of educational thinking with a key role in delivering Initial Teacher Training (ITT), Continuing Professional and Leadership Development (CPLD), School to School Support, Recruitment and Deployment of Specialist Leaders in Education (SLEs). In addition we are actively engaged in research and development projects to improve educational outcomes.
