Bede's Family of Schools

The merger will enable Burgess Hill Girls to benefit from the expertise, resources and long-term support of Bede’s Trust, while preserving the identity and heritage that are central to the Burgess Hill Girls community. The merger is about preserving and honouring the unique identity and ethos of the school, while strengthening the provision from which students continue to flourish academically and personally to become Tomorrow’s Women. United by shared values, this transformational new chapter will enable Burgess Hill Girls to shape a stronger and more ambitious future within a bold, collaborative Trust. 

Nick Mercer, Chair of Governors at Bede’s, said: 

“We are delighted to welcome Burgess Hill Girls into Bede’s Trust. This is a merger built on shared values, mutual respect and a common commitment to providing students with a rich and ambitious education.” 

“Burgess Hill Girls has a proud identity and a distinctive ethos, and it is important to us that these are preserved. By coming together, both school communities will be able to benefit from shared expertise, broader opportunities and the strength of a larger educational trust.”
