As you look through these webpages, you will no doubt understand why we are all so proud of our school.
Our school places a strong emphasis on personal development, and we appreciate each child and adult as a unique individual with much to offer the world.
We at Bede want to show you the possibilities the world has in store for you and assist you in discovering methods to succeed, achieve, and feel proud of yourself in it.
In our most recent survey of students, 95.5% stated they enjoyed going to school and 96.6% said their lessons are engaging and enjoyable either all the time or most of the time. These results demonstrate how exciting, inventive, stimulating, and impactful our curriculum is.
We try to incorporate as many real-world experiences into our lessons as we can, and school trips and visitors are a common occurrence.
High academic standards are upheld, children are expected to put in a lot of effort, and good behaviour is encouraged and enforced.
In the most recent survey of parents, 98.6% of respondents said their child was content, 100% said their child was receiving good instruction, and 100% said their child was making good progress.
We received "Outstanding" ratings in all four categories during our most recent inspection (in September 2012), which suggests that Ofsted agreed.
We will always regard ourselves as partners with our families and we will always be committed to enhancing the lives of our children as we prepare them for the ever-changing requirements of our society.
