Catholic Ethos and Mission

Saint Bede’s is first and foremost a Catholic school, and we are guided by our Mission Statement in all that we do:

“We aim to reflect the true Christian Values proclaimed in the Gospel, and seek to provide a caring community in which young people can grow as balanced individuals, morally, intellectually and spiritually and so participate fully in the real world”. 

We seek to live out our mission through the following core objectives:

Our Catholic School Community: To be a happy, vibrant, community of faith

Achievement and Progress: To ensure the highest standards of achievement for all pupils

Leadership: To ensure self-critical and imaginative leadership at all levels within the school

Teaching and Learning: To be an exciting learning community, with learners fully engaged, and teaching of the highest quality
