Roman Catholic Priest and the patron saint of youth and teachers
Born in 1815, St. John Bosco became a priest in 1841 and provided an education for young boys. He also led young people to study the study of the faith. He opened the Oratory of St. Francis de Sales for boys. Several wealthy and powerful patrons contributed money, enabling him to provide two workshops for the boys, shoemaking and tailoring. He published religious pamphlets and concentrated on mission work. He died in 1888 and was canonised in 1934, being given the title of the ‘Father and Teacher of Youth.’
Pioneered for female rights in Britain
Born in 1858, Pankhurst was instrumental in securing the vote for women and championing women’s rights. In 1903, Emmeline Pankhurst founded the Women’s Social and Political Union, which used militant tactics to agitate for women’s suffrage. Pankhurst was imprisoned many times, but supported the war effort after World War I broke out. Parliament granted British women limited suffrage in 1918. Pankhurst died in 1928, shortly before women were given full voting rights.

At SJB we teach careers education to empower students with the knowledge, skills, and confidence to navigate their futures. By exploring diverse pathways and providing a broad range of experiences and encounters, we enable every young person to make informed decisions, realise their potential, and pursue fulfilling careers that positively impact their lives and communities.
Three key aims of our school curriculum are that it:
Raises students’ aspirations, challenges and equips them with the knowledge and skills to flourish in their future careers.
Provides students with opportunities to take the curriculum beyond the classroom to develop independence, creativity and a love of learning.
Offers a wide range of opportunities for students to take ownership of and personalise their curriculum in order to develop existing talents and interests as well as discover new ones.
Careers Education is key in us achieving this for all our children. We want all our students to fully understand the huge range of possibilities out there and make the most of their skills and talents. We aim to help develop students’ knowledge, understanding, confidence, and skills so that they can make well-informed choices and plans for their future.
We are committed to providing a well-structured Careers Education and Guidance Programme for all students in all year groups. We strive to ensure students experience a full, varied and interesting careers journey, having the opportunity to explore their own interests, skills, and passions; understanding the wealth of jobs and education available to them once they leave school. It is integrated into our students’ experience across the whole curriculum and is based on a partnership between students and their parents.
We have fostered a rich partnership with local businesses, colleges and universities along with a strong alumni and wider school community to support our Careers Education, and are grateful for their on-going support. We are constantly looking to seek new working relationships and partnerships – if you would like to get involved then do not hesitate to get in touch!
Our Careers Advisor works on a one-to-one basis with our students as well as supporting the many different careers events and experiences. For example, all students in Year 11 receive one-to-one careers advice and support in making their next steps decisions. She also works alongside the wider Careers Team to deliver a comprehensive programme of impartial support and guidance to all the students.
Our programme is underpinned by the eight Gatsby benchmarks identifying the elements of good practice in career guidance. We regularly review our provision and are continually striving to improve what we offer our students.

Influential Archbishop of El Salvador who advocated for the rights of the poor
Born in 1917, Oscar Romero was a Roman Catholic Archbishop who stood up for the freedom and justice of his people. He was a vocal critic of the violent actions of the government armed forces and defended the poor who were powerless victims of widespread violence. He was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize in 1979, and was sadly assassinated a year later whilst saying mass.
Catholic priest who sacrificed his own life for another’s in Auschwitz during WW2
Born in 1894, Saint Maximilian Kolbe was a Polish Franciscan Friar. He was arrested by the Nazis for hiding Jewish people and was sent to the concentration camp of Auschwitz. When the Nazi guards selected 10 people to be starved to death in punishment, Kolbe volunteered to die in place of a stranger. He was later canonised as a martyr.
Inspirational Jamaican nurse, who gave selflessly, and overcame obstacles, to help the wounded
Born in 1805 and died in 1881, Mary Seacole was a Jamaican healer who faced unfairness and discrimination as a black woman when she tried to volunteer as a nurse during the Crimean War (1854-56). When the British turned down her offer of help, she decided to go to the Crimea independently. She set up a British Hotel near the frontline to provide comfort and supplies to the army. She rode nearly every day to the battle front to give out medicines and nurse the injured and dying. She was very well known when she returned to England but was largely forgotten after her death. Mary received four medals from a grateful British Government and in 1857 eighty thousand people turned up to honour Mary in a four-day gala held to raise money for her. In 2004 she was voted number one in a poll of Great Black Britons.

Visible spokesman and leader of the American Civil Rights Movement
Born in 1929 in Atlanta, Martin Luther King became a Baptist minister and social activist who led the civil rights movement in the United States from the mid-1950s. His leadership was fundamental to that movement’s success in ending the legal segregation of African Americans in the South and other parts of the United States. King rose to national prominence as head of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, which promoted nonviolent tactics, such as the March on Washington (1963), to achieve civil rights. He was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1964. He was assassinated in 1968.
Sister, devoting her life to saving the land in the Amazon Rainforest. She lost her life as a martyr during her missionary work in Brazil
Born in Dayton in 1931, Dorothy was one of nine in a lively and devout Catholic family. In 1966 she moved to Brazil as a missionary. She learnt the languages and set up remote parishes. She walked the forest and met with the poorest farmers. She set up dozens of base communities and taught them the Gospel. She launched 23 schools and created a structure for the poor to claim their land. Dorothy dedicated her life to serving the people of the Amazon and saving the land. In 2005, whilst travelling to meet some poor farmer, she was approached by two assassins. “Do you have a weapon?” they asked. Yes, she answered, showing them the Bible she carried for decades. She opened it and began to read aloud: “Blessed are the poor in spirit. Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for justice. Blessed are the peacemakers …” Then, she said, “God bless you, my sons.” She was shot 6 times, with her body left on the dirt road for days as the locals feared moving it for the threat of being shot. Dorothy devoted her life to serving people through God and to helping save the Amazon environment, and eventually losing it as the ‘Martyr of the Amazon’.
The Student SJB 7 was devised by the students and is made up of seven learning behaviours they felt are important to encourage, recognise and reward:
At SJB we recognise and reward students’ effort and attitude to learning through nominations. Parents and students can see on Arbor when their child is awarded a nomination.
When the students have earned enough nominations in any one of the Student SJB 7, they will either be awarded a ‘STAR Badge’ to wear with pride on their blazer (Yr 7-11) or receive credit towards a treat in the Sixth Form Café (Yr 12-13). At the end of the year, any students who have achieved all seven are recognised in our Award Ceremony with a ‘gold’ award.
