“Dedicated staff support all pupils to benefit from the rich curriculum which is enhanced by a range of experiences and clubs.” (Ofsted 2024) | “Pupils immerse themselves in all that is on offer. They become confident, collaborative learners who achieve well.” (Ofsted 2024) |
“Pupils are nurtured to feel safe and protected and are given opportunities to shine.” (Ofsted 2024) | “All of this, coupled with excellent behaviour and high aspirations, makes St Bede a special place to be.” (Ofsted 2024) |
“The school’s curriculum is crafted carefully in order to motivate and engage pupils.” (Ofsted 2024) | “Kindness is everywhere throughout this school.” (Ofsted 2024) |
