Year 7 pupils have begun their Health-Based PE journey this term, focusing on building strong foundations for lifelong movement and physical wellbeing. Lessons are centred around the Six Pillars of Movement, helping pupils understand not just how to move, but why high-quality movement is essential for health, confidence, and injury prevention.
We have come to the end of a long but rewarding term.
On Wednesday 17th December our college community came together for our Advent Service.
We would like to extend our heartfelt thanks and best wishes to Dave Johnson as he moves on from St. Bede’s to take up his new role as Assistant Principal at Marlwood School.

Our singers and instrumentalists have had a festive start to the Christmas season.
We are proud to share that St Bede’s Catholic College has been named one of the top 10 comprehensive schools in the South West for academic excellence in The Sunday Times Parent Power 2026 rankings..
On the 20th November, members of the Key Stage 3 Chaplaincy team visited Clifton Cathedral to be commissioned.
St Bede’s was filled with the smell of sugar, spice, and plenty of creativity last week as students from across the school took part in our annual St Bede’s Bake Off Competition. The judges certainly had a tough job, judging the creativity, and culinary skills.
This year's school talent show was an absolute triumph, showcasing the incredible depth of talent within our student body and staff!
The audience was captivated by a spectacular range of student acts, including phenomenal singers, energetic dancers, brilliant bands, and even an amazing artist creating work live during the show.
In a year where there are no national figures for progress, we can only focus on the attainment of our young people.
The 2025 national figures were published just before half-term and show the Year 11s at St Bede's achieved the second-highest attainment of any mixed secondary school in the city.
This is a fabulous achievement for the students and the staff that worked so hard for these fantastic results.

Congratulations to Leo, year 11 who recently took part in the Cadet Inter-Services Skill at Arms Meeting (CISAM) with the Air Cadets.
CISAM is an event which brings together over 200 of the best cadets from across the UK to test their skills in leadership, teamwork and marksmanship. This was Leo’s first time competing, and he finished 8th overall out of more than 200 cadets.
Following this, he was selected to represent the Royal Air Force Air Cadets in the Inter-Service competition, where his team went on to achieve first place.
Leo, congratulations. Your hard work exemplifies one of our St Bede’s Way principles. We are proud of you.
