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.
