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.
The St. Bede’s Way Spotlight identifies children who stand out as exemplifying one of our three St Bede’s Way principles of “Work Hard. Be Kind. Do the Right Thing.”
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.
We are delighted to announce that St Bede’s has achieved the FFT 2024/2025 Excellent Attendance Award, recognising our students’ outstanding commitment to learning and consistent attendance throughout the year. This award places St Bede’s in the top 25% of all FFT secondary schools across England, a remarkable achievement that reflects the dedication of our pupils, families, and staff in supporting regular school attendance and engagement.
Congratulations to Areté student Stan, who has been named Gloucestershire Under 16 Cricketer of the Year.
Stan’s hard work and dedication have also earned him selection for the Gloucestershire Under 18 squad.
We look forward to following his continued success and development in the game.
On Friday 17th October we held our annual careers fair, university and apprenticeship talks for Year 11 students.
The morning of events was a resounding success providing students an opportunity to explore their next steps after Year 11.
The event brought together representatives from local businesses, colleges and universities.

It is with great sadness that we write to let you know of the passing of Liz White.
