Senior School

At St Bede's we are proud of our Catholic heritage and see it as a privilege to offer all of our pupils the opportunity to achieve their full potential. We provide a challenging and supportive environment to help them succeed within an academic and inclusive College with core Catholic values which underpin everything we do. We believe that this combination ensures that all of our pupils leave our College as well developed individuals with a passion for knowledge and continued success as well as caring members of the community.

Above all we foster a strong sense of family and Christian community in a safe and caring environment where Christ is the unseen, but ever present teacher in every class. He is a living model for the staff and the inspiration for all our pupils.

Sixth Form

he Sixth Form at St Bede's College seeks to produce students who are ready to take their place at the forefront of society as intellectually curious, socially aware and well-rounded Catholic adults, who draw strength from their faith and inspire others by their example. The two years they spend in the Sixth Form are crucial to this formative process and it is a time when we regularly witness the students develop from uncertain teenagers to independent and self-assured young adults.
The culture at St Bede's College Sixth Form encourages all students to fulfil their potential and achieve excellence in all areas of their life - spiritually, intellectually and recreationally - and we believe that our leavers are the pride of the Catholic education system and that they are well prepared for a life of happiness and success.

About Us

St Bede's College is a distinguished academic school whose vision remains true to that of our Founder, Cardinal Vaughan. He would recognise the value we place on the individual and the way in which we seek to develop the talents of all who form part of our community.

Education for us does not exist in a vacuum: it is a partnership between pupil, parent and teacher. We take seriously our obligations to the Catholic Church and to society to prepare a future generation of highly educated, articulate and theologically literate young people whose core values are those of the gospel as taught by Jesus Christ.
