St Bon's is a highly regarded Catholic primary school. In our most recent Ofsted inspection we were rated as good. We have high expectations of learning and behaviour for each pupil. We are very proud of our 'outstanding' judgement in our last Diocesan Inspection. We place clear emphasis on nurturing children’s wider personal development as well as their academic well-being. A distinctive feature of the school, identified by Ofsted, is “the shared commitment to educating the ‘whole child’ shining through wherever you step.”

We are a very caring community. Our parents, the PTFA and our Governors are very supportive of the school, each other, and the links we have with St Bon's and Sacred Heart parishes. Collectively we work to ensure the best for our children.

We are proud of our excellent academic reputation which has resulted in our school being ranked seventh best school in the Bristol, South Gloucestershire, North Somerset and Bath and North East Somerset area by The Real Schools Guide 2018. Within the city of Bristol, the guide ranks St Bonaventure’s as fifth in Bristol’s top 10 schools.
