Years 1 and 2
During Years 1 & 2 we proudly offer a diverse, dynamic, and broad curriculum designed to spark an irrepressible curiosity.
Finding your voice
While core learning is lovingly led by form tutors, our pupils also thrive under the wings of inspiring subject specialists in:
-
Modern Foreign Languages
-
Dance & Music
-
Swimming & Sport
-
Computing
Learning here is a grand adventure that stretches far beyond the classroom! Our pupils enjoy a stimulating yet calming environment, complete with engaging classrooms, a wildlife-themed Learning Lodge, and a designated playground featuring its very own pirate ship! We passionately champion outdoor learning, turning nature into an extension of our classrooms with exhilarating Beach and Forest School adventures.
Nurturing the Whole Child
At Bede’s, wellbeing is at the absolute forefront of everything we do. We weave our core values - Compassion, Curiosity, Courage, and Conscientiousness - into every single day. Through small class sizes, robust pastoral care, and a tailored "hidden curriculum," we personalise education to celebrate each child's unique talents and propensities. From dedicated Form Tutors and peer "buddies" to qualified nurture practitioners, we ensure every child feels happy, safe, and deeply valued.
A Vibrant, Connected Community
We believe that school life should be filled with kindness, fun, and laughter! We foster a beautiful culture of belonging, partnering closely with families through stellar communication. The fun doesn't stop when the school day ends; our vibrant after-school clubs, exciting academic trips to Blackberry Farm or the Lifeboat Station, and community initiatives like beach cleans keep our pupils beaming.
