St Bede's School is Independent Secondary school in Non-selective for kids aged 3 to 13 (Gender - 3 to 13 )
Having worked at the school since April 2017, which has fantastic students, supportive parents/carers and excellent high quality staff and governors, I am committed to providing our students with the best possible Christian education. The unique ecumenical nature of St Bede’s will be at the forefront of everything we do.St Bede's aims to provide 'Christian education at its best'. When inspected by Ofsted in February 2017, every aspect of its work was judged as 'outstanding' and the Christian character of the school was similarly described as 'outstanding' by diocesan inspectors in December 2017
Key Stage 3
All students follow the same curriculum for the year. Students study Design & Technology (DT) for half of the year (3 periods) and then they swap to food (2pds) and textiles (1pd) for the other half of the year - and vice versa. The majority of subjects are taught in the students' tutor group. In Year 8, students are mixed up across the year into teaching groups. The majority of lessons are taught in these teaching groups. Students follow the same format as Year 7 for DT and food/textiles. Some students will stop studying an MFL and instead take 4 periods of additional English. n year 9, students are given some choices about what they would like to study alongside the core subjects. Students choose 1 subject from DT, food and textiles. Whichever they choose, they will study for the whole year (3 pds). Students also choose 2 subjects from art, drama, music and additional PE
Key Stage 4
Students start their GCSE and Cambridge National courses in Year 10. All students study maths, English (language and literature), science and RE for GCSE. They are then given a choice of 4 more subjects. One of their options must be history or geography. They then have a free choice of 3 more subjects. We strongly advise that one of these choices should be an MFL. All students also have core PE lessons.
Key Stage 5
Students in Year 12 choose to study at least three subjects. Some will start with four subjects and then drop one during the year while a few students continue with all four. We offer A level and Cambridge Technical (CTEC) qualifications. All students follow a citizenship programme and a non-examined philosophy of ideas course. In Year 13, students are given the opportunity to study for an Extended Project Qualification (EPQ) in addition to their A Level or Cambridge Technical subjects.
Extra-Curricular Clubs
At St Bede's School we are pleased to offer a wide range of extra-curricular clubs and activities open to all age ranges. We hope there is something that everyone can get involved in as we believe that enhancing the taught curriculum in this way leads to a good all round education. It is also a great opportunity for students to try something new. The list of available activities is updated at the beginning of each term.
