Awards and Partnerships

We’re really proud to be one of few schools nationally that have been accredited by the schools, students and teachers network (SSAT) as a Leading Edge school.

As part of this, we use their Framework for Exceptional Education to evaluate and improve our provision. There are 12 strands related to Teaching and Learning, Professional Practice and Leadership. We have been recognised as “transforming” in these 12 strands – the first school in the country to do so! 

SJB is delighted to announce that it has been recognised as an Apple Distinguished School for 2021-2024. Apple Distinguished Schools are centres of innovation, leadership and educational excellence that use Apple products to inspire creativity, collaboration, and critical thinking.

They showcase innovative uses of technology in learning, teaching and the school environment, and have documented results of academic accomplishment.
