Admission for Year 7 September 2024

On Thursday 5th October, we welcomed 700 people to our open evening. Families were able to see the high quality Christian education their children would receive if they chose St Bede's for their secondary education. 

Parents/carers of any Year 6 children (born between 1 September 2012 and 31 August 2013) wishing to join St Bede's Catholic College are reminded that now is the time to apply for their secondary school place for September 2024. To make your application:

1.        you must complete the secondary transfer application form provided by your home Local Authority (available on the LA website) by 31 October, and:

2. if you are applying for a baptised Catholic child or for a child of another denomination faith, you should also additionally complete an online Supplementary Information Form (available on the college website under Admissions) and provide the college with a copy of your child’s baptism certificate/proof of membership, also by 31 October.   

Please note that all applicants must complete the Local Authority form – not just the college’s supplementary form, and baptism certificates/proof of membership must be provided to the college.

 

GCSE Press Release

All those that are part of the St Bede’s Catholic College community are delighted to celebrate the successes of Year 11 students this year.

Rob King, Principal, said: “This fantastic group of students has lived through a hugely challenging two years. Despite the uncertainty, they have worked hard and risen to the challenges in a way that is so impressive. These children have grown in all aspects of their life, but today is a wonderful opportunity to celebrate their academic successes. Although we have many great performances at the top end, with large numbers of grades 8 and 9, we want to recognise all the huge achievements from students that have been dealing with very difficult circumstances. These students have earned the grades that will allow them to take their next steps in life. The students are a credit to themselves, their families and the college and we know they are going to make important contributions to our society in the future”.

“I would also like to thank the staff who have supported the students wonderfully, both through emotional care and in preparing them well for their examinations.”

Teresa Gilpin, Chair of Governors, said: “Well done to everyone, students and staff, in this most challenging of years. We wish each and every student success in their next steps”.
