St Bede’s Catholic College is a great place of learning with a unique culture and climate. Visitors comment on a calm and industrious place where children are stimulated and challenged to develop their talents and encouraged to strive for excellence. Achievement and effort are valued and celebrated. Within and outside the classroom numerous opportunities exist for young people to unlock their talents and develop self-worth, esteem, confidence, resilience and independence.
Children are enthusiastic about life in college and embrace the many opportunities to grow in faith, developing religious understanding and a sense of service. Spiritual and moral development lies at the heart of our work and is a major strength within this vibrant faith community, where every child is valued.
Young people are encouraged to strive for excellence in every aspect of their work. We hold high expectations of ourselves and all those who work within our community and these translate to the children in our care. They are enabled from the early stages to be active, enquiring and critical open-minded thinkers; to be ambitious for themselves and broaden their horizons.
The college has a long-standing tradition of scholarship and academic success. The value of hard work is never underestimated; this, coupled with inspirational and passionate teaching, enables everyone to fulfil their potential and walk tall with confidence.
As important as they are, education at St Bede’s is about much more than examination results as you will discover when you visit this vibrant community where quality is all pervading
