Partnerships

At the very heart of the Bede’s partnership programme is the importance of fostering a caring community which not only exists within our own school environment, but also reaches those in the local community and beyond. The benefit of being able to share our facilities, talents, time and expertise is hugely important, whilst at the same time recognising that each Bedian will learn as much if not more from our partners as they do.
By working alongside people from various parts of our community, we believe our students develop social virtues that allow them to better understand and make a positive contribution to wider society. 
 
We aim for all our pupils:
 
- To be ready and willing to make a positive contribution to the wider community and environment
 
- To develop elements of their own character, fostering the four main schools values to be:
 
  • Compassionate
  • Courageous
  • Curious
  • Conscientious
- To appreciate the privileges they have and understand the duty they have to make the world a better place
 
- To develop skills, knowledge and creativity to serve groups and communities with whom they partner
 
I am thrilled to be able to showcase how our students have been making an impact amongst the local and wider community.
