Welcome to St Boniface’s College!

Thank you for taking an interest in our work. Our school has a long and proud tradition of education in Plymouth and offers a distinctive approach to education as a Catholic comprehensive school for boys / girls. Catholic education is distinctive, as it draws upon a two-thousand year heritage of wisdom and reflection on the human experience of life and how to live it well. From the outset, then, our approach to education whilst not disregarding the needs of the economy places the individual person at the centre of the educational efforts. Catholic education seeks the positive formation of every individual, in the service of the Common Good. The Common Good requires individuals to set aside selfish pursuits in the more important collective enterprise of building a better, safer, fairer, kinder, more inclusive society of tomorrow. Our school is open to everyone who wants to be a part of such a community. We expect all members of our school to aspire to greatness - both their own and that of others. For this, we expect each person to work hard, to learn from mistakes, and to show kindness to all. If you would like to join us, we look forward to welcoming you soon.

St Boniface’s is a successful and welcoming school where students and teachers enjoy learning together. Ofsted noted that ‘Pupils at St Boniface’s College describe their school community as a family’ (April 2025).

Our school is a happy place to learn and work, with every member of our school community making an important contribution to maintaining our ethos and values. St Boniface’s has been on a rapid improvement journey over recent years. We are very proud of all that has been achieved, by our students and their parents and carers; our wonderful staff, the Governing Board and our Trust, Plymouth CAST. As a result of this, we have seen all areas of performance improve year on year and we are fully committed to continuing to strive to provide the best education possible for our students. 

We are able to tailor our curriculum and the resources available to our students to meet the needs of all boys. We use the latest educational research to ensure that our teachers use the most modern strategies to engage boys in their learning.  We place great importance in educating our students on what it means to be a man in today's society. 

We believe St Boniface is a truly special place to be. Ofsted confirmed this in their most recent inspection in April 2025, recognising ‘There is a deep moral purpose behind the school’s work to provide the best education possible for its pupils. Leaders and staff at all levels are united in this purpose and proud to work at the school.’

Whether you are a prospective student, alumnus, present-day member of the school community, or a visitor, we hope you enjoy browsing our website and gaining an insight into the vibrant and wonderful school that is St Boniface’s College.
