Values and Vision

Our vision is simple; we are striving to create a world class Catholic education that encourages our students to want to make the world a better place. We underpin this vision with values of love, faith and hope. As a Catholic school, St Bede’s works hard to foster a strong sense of community among its pupils, encouraging them to work together for the common good. The school highly values the spiritual and personal development of its pupils, working hard to provide them with the skills and social intelligence necessary to succeed in the real world, and to have a strong idea of their options upon leaving school post-16, be it further education or employment. The school curriculum is designed to be engaging and balanced, with a wide range of subjects both vocational and academic. As a Catholic institution, the school does operate some form of faith-based admission, but welcomes applications from students of all faiths and none.
