St Bede’s College

St Bede’s is committed to the pursuit of excellence in its Academic Life. From the earliest days in Year 7 to the conclusion of the pupils’ careers in Year 13, we expect high standards and we add value at every stage of education. 

Pupils have opportunities for work experience and community service, which contribute to their preparation for the economic and social challenges of modern life. Pupils also receive sound advice with regard to higher education opportunities and careers, and potential Oxford and Cambridge candidates receive planned advice and guidance.

Lessons are well planned and are characterised by sound teacher knowledge and high expectations of pupils. Teachers create a positive working atmosphere to which pupils respond with interest and determination in their studies. The pace of learning is generally brisk and resources well used by teachers. Curricular planning is thorough and effective.

Pupils make good progress in their knowledge, understanding and skills as they move through the College.

Parents’ and Carers’ contribution to academic life is greatly valued and any comments should be directed to the Deputy Head (Academic) through mbartlett@stbedescollege.co.uk
