At Emmanuel Schools Foundation we value, challenge and inspire students and staff because each is infinitely precious, gifted for a purpose and morally responsible. We transform schools by valuing excellence of character, providing a challenging curriculum and inspiring service to our communities. We serve economically and socially disadvantaged contexts in the Northeast and Yorkshire; currently through 6 schools in Blyth, Gateshead, Sunderland, Middlesbrough and Doncaster educating over 7,000 students with a team of around 1,000 staff.

Bede Academy is an all-through school in Blyth, Northumberland and operates across two sites (one Primary, one Secondary), rated as 'Good' by Ofsted, it is a Christian-Ethos School of Character for the whole community.

Specialising in Engineering and Enterprise, the Academy focuses on extending conventional perceptions of engineering. We provide specialist insights into aspects of biotechnology, environmental science and recycling technologies, sound and computer network engineering, medical and animal science, and naval and automotive systems and design.
Bede Academy has a non denominational Christian ethos and welcomes staff and students of all faiths and none, whilst building on clear core values. We value every student as made in the image of God with vast potential, and seek to help them all to achieve their personal best in every area. Much more important to us than academic success is a student’s development as a young man or women.

We put character first and provide opportunities for students to serve each other and the local community, with which we have strong links. Students engage in a vast array of extracurricular activities in which they develop their sporting, musical, dramatic, mental and creative talents.
