Headteacher's Message

Welcome to St Bede's Catholic Comprehensive School and Byron 6th Form College, a Specialist College for Humanities

Paul McKenna - HeadteacherAt St Bede's, we strive for excellence and aim to help all of our students achieve their full potential. The school is a happy, vibrant community where students work hard in their academic studies and are involved in a wide

range of sporting, creative, practical and social activities. We wish to develop the spirituality of our students and the ability to be innovative and to work with independence and initiative so that they can prosper in a rapidly changing world.

 

At the heart of St Bede's, and underpinning everything that we do, is its

mission to witness to Christ and to celebrate each individual's relationship with Christ and with one another in the light of Gospel values.Our status as a Specialist College for Humanities brings new and exciting developments in the specialist subject areas and across the entire curriculum. We are using the finance gained to help raise standards even further by improving facilities, linking subjects and being innovative in our teaching and learning.

 

Our lively, dedicated and well trained staff give our students the individual attention necessary to encourage them to achieve in all areas of the

curriculum and to extend their experiences through the wide range of extra curricular opportunities we offer. The high standards of teaching, the hard work of the students and active encouragement by parents have all contributed to

the school's success. We work very closely with parents and value highly the support they provide.This close relationship is a real strength of the school,

and we welcome prospective parents to come and see us. I will be pleased to discuss our work with you and answer any questions you may have.

Mr P McKenna - Headteacher
