Bede’s inspires young people to achieve in every facet of their educational experience. We place the individual and their passions at the heart of what we do.
Our pupils are encouraged to go beyond their academic successes to develop as whole people. We engage them in pursuits that liberate their creativity and talents, revealing their pathways to future success.
Bede’s philosophy of breadth and excellence in the academic curriculum as well as our range of cultural, aesthetic, intellectual and sporting activities outside the classroom serves our pupils’ uniqueness very well. Most importantly, these enriching experiences are open to everyone and not just an elite few.
Education, if it is to be truly effective, should encourage every young person to participate and ensure that, as the whole person develops, the efforts of each individual are recognised and celebrated.
We place the development of values at the heart of school life. Young people need the opportunity to experiment, embrace responsibility, lead, succeed and, because we learn more from adversity, venture beyond where they are comfortable.
Pupils, teachers and parents all have roles to play in the Bede’s community, and we encourage everyone to set their sights high.
Our aim is for each child to make an outstanding contribution in all aspects of their lives: in school, in the local community and the wider world.
We will do everything we can to make that happen.
