Co-curricular Programme

At Bede’s, we firmly believe that we are more than a school - we are a vibrant community where you are encouraged to step out of your comfort zone, try something new and truly do what you love. 

We know learning is not just lessons.

Our packed co-curricular programme is the beating heart of school life, designed to spark courage, curiosity and compassion. Playing a wholehearted role here is the secret to building lifelong friendships and discovering your own unique path in a world of opportunities. Plus, diving into hobbies is fantastic for building self-confidence, boosting mental health and promoting overall well-being!

Every pupil chooses three activities per week and we highly recommend including at least one sporting option. While most clubs are "Open to All," a few are "Invite Only" (though you can always message the teacher to ask for a spot!). Check the listings for specific year-group highlights or activities with extra costs.

To help you find your perfect balance, our exciting activities are divided into four wonderful categories:

  • Sport: From team sports to individual fitness, we want everyone staying healthy, moving, and having fun.

  • Languages & Culture: Supercharge your brains with impressive options like Classical Greek, Chemistry research, or learning Japanese!

  • Clubs & Societies: An eclectic mix where you can bake delicious treats, hang out in our incredible school Zoo, or join a Film Club.

  • Performing & Creative Arts: Let your imagination soar with fabulous music bands, choirs, art projects, and theatrical drama sessions.
