On Friday 21 April, we were delighted to celebrate the Leavers of 2020 at the Lansdowne Club in Mayfair.

It was incredible to see the 2020 Leavers at the Lansdowne Club in Mayfair on Friday 21 April for their three year reunion. Leaving in 2020, during covid, they had no Leavers’ Ball or chance to celebrate their time with us, say goodbye or to celebrate their successes. So to see them all back together and looking so well was lovely.

And what a fantastic event it was, it is safe to say that staff and pupils alike had a fantastic evening catching up over drinks and some incredible food. Although three years had passed there was still a strong connection back to Bede’s.

Alumni were able to look through their yearbooks at the event, there was lots of laughing and looking back at their time at Bede’s. Over 60 people attended the event; from Munich to Geneva to Manchester, it was great to have them all there.

Our 2020 leavers finally had the celebration that they had so deserved and it was so great to see them all.

“I really loved the Bede’s Reunion, although three hours went by far too quickly but it was an absolute blast to see everyone again. It felt like no time had passed and we’d only seen each other yesterday. It’s amazing how quickly you just feel at home again. The connection you build with the people at Bede’s is like no other. I missed everyone so much.”
