St. Bede's Catholic Junior School

Welcome to the website of St. Bede’s Catholic Junior School.  I warmly invite you to use our website as an opportunity to view our lovely school, where the Catholic ethos is evident and open to be experienced by all who enter.  At St. Bede’s Catholic Junior School, you will find a warm, welcoming, family atmosphere where each child is known and where children are at the heart of all decision-making.

St. Bede, patron of our school, wrote:

“It was always my delight to learn and to teach”.

We are a celebrating community, living the Gospel Values,

committed to educating children in the light of the Catholic Faith.

We journey together so that we

“Might  have  life  -  life  in  all its  fullness”. John  10:10

Through our Mission Statement, we want our children to learn, achieve and excel; our work is inspired and underpinned by Gospel values so that they can reflect God’s love in their everyday lives: Christ is at the centre of everything we do.  Our actions reflect our belief that every child is a gift, created in the image of God. We recognise that each child is unique, with their own talents, which we endeavour to nurture and develop.

We offer a rich, engaging and balanced curriculum so that our children receive the very best education possible and are ready for the next step in their learning.  Our staff work tirelessly and are fully committed to ensuring all learners reach their full potential, regardless of ability or background. We have the highest expectations of staff and pupils and expect each to demonstrate outstanding levels of attendance, appearance, courtesy, respect and work ethic throughout their time at the school.  The school provides a safe, caring, positive and stimulating environment that promotes academic learning for all.

As a caring, supportive school family, we value the important role that our wider community of parents/carers has in supporting children’s learning, and the life of the school, and we welcome involvement and feedback from our families at every opportunity.  We greatly value the links we have with our pupils’ families.

You are warmly invited to visit us at work during the school day.  Please try to take some time this year to attend one of the school’s many events.  You will always receive a warm welcome.  I look forward to welcoming you to our school!

With best wishes
