Bursaries and Assisted Places

The Trust invests considerable resources and time in the awarding of its bursaries and ensuring that, as far as it is able, the benefits of a Bede’s education are as accessible as possible to those who do not have the means to pay full fees.

State School Partnerships

The Schools’ facilities are used extensively throughout the year for the benefit of outside organisations and the local community, particularly local state schools. We have particularly close links with Park Mead School, in the village of Upper Dicker where the Senior School is located; the pupils use facilities such as our science labs and swimming pool on a regular basis and our staff support with teaching and coaching.

The School also hosted and organized the Bede’s Galactic Challenge for Years 6-8 and UK Space Design Challenge for Years 9-13 which involved pupils from local state schools receiving expert coaching and the opportunity to progress to the National Finals. Half of the children who attended the UK Space Design Challenge were from state schools.

Gender Pay Gap

All businesses with more than 250 employees are required, under the Equality Act 2010 (Gender Pay Gap Information) Regulations 2017, to produce an annual Gender Pay Gap Report.

The gender pay gap is the difference between the hourly rate of pay of male employees and female employees (as set out in the regulations).

These differences have to be published on both a median basis (pay per hour based on the person 'in the middle' of the distribution of pay) and a mean basis (average hourly salary).

Our Prep School invites local primary schools to participate in Curriculum Enhancement Days for local primary schools and hosts a DT competition.
