Bede's Prep is an independent, co-educational school located by the sea in Eastbourne, East Sussex.
We are a school that enriches young people so that they may become confident members of their communities.
We believe in providing children with rich learning opportunities that stimulate and broaden their knowledge, skills and understanding, engaging them in practical experiences which bring learning to life.
I joined Bede’s Prep last year. It’s really nice here, and everyone’s very friendly. It feels like I’ve been here for ages.
Choosing a school can be incredibly tough. If you are looking for preparatory schools in Sussex, consider Bede's. Our school provides a caring environment where children are encouraged to be creative, curious and confident.
We are members of The Independent Association of Prep Schools (IAPS), offering day and boarding places for pupils between the ages of 4 and 13. Our students are valued as individuals and enjoy a broad range of opportunity to suit their interests and talents.
On Thursday 30 June, Bede’s Prep School held their annual whole school sponsored walk, this year raising money for the Royal British Legion, and in particular Mais House – a care home in Bexhill-on-Sea.
Alongside the Mayor of Eastbourne, Year 6 pupils saw their winning design come to life at the Wild Coast Sussex In-Bloom Planting Event!
On Saturday 24 April 2022, Bede's hosted Galactic Challenge, a space design competition for Years 6-8 that encourages pupils to be innovative, creative, and collaborative whilst challenging their application of physics and mathematics in an astrophysical way.
Bede’s School has pledged to plant 1,200 trees by the end of term (25 March) at the Senior School site in Upper Dicker with a further planting of some 800 trees will take place later in autumn.
Discovering the unique abilities, needs and characteristics that make each child special.
Fostering a community of discovery which encourages every individual to develop their passions and achieve their potential.
Championing choice at every turn, imbuing each Bedian with the confidence to excel at those things they value most.
