Welcome from Our Head Boy, Rory
I remember my first day excited and anxious to start afresh in a new environment. Through the gates, though, and my nerves were gone – I was safe in the knowledge that SPB was where I belonged. Since Year 8, despite doubling in size my sense of belonging has never wavered. I am exceedingly proud to be a part of such a supportive and inspiring community, and should you choose to join us, I could not be more confident that you will feel the same.
The support provided by the teaching staff is second to none. School life is about so much more than achieving great academic success. However, what truly sets us apart is what happens outside of the classroom. It is these extraordinary experiences that the college offers that have allowed me to become a more confident, independent, and resilient individual.
The sheer variety of opportunities available means that every pupil’s journey is unique and personal, but unified by the sense of passion and pride in all that we do.
Welcome from Our Head Girl, Cait
Our college is committed to the growth of all its pupils and strives to nurture talent of all kinds - academic and extracurricular. SPB is a thriving environment optimised for the personal growth of all its pupils; its extracurricular activities enrich and nourish the fundamental educational experience and academic success for which the college is well known.
As an institution which is firmly rooted in its commitment to each individual at the school, SPB constantly adapts to meet the personal needs of each pupil. It is this belonging aspect of pupil life, ingrained in the school's ethos ‘Believe-Achieve-Lead’ which appeals to me the most. The SPB community, be it the dedicated and motivating staff or the fantastic pupils, is no doubt a second home to us all. It would be a great honour to welcome you to our college and I hope you will be inspired to join us either as part our next generation of pupils or as a new member of staff.
