• Friday 21 February 2025 International Mother Tongue Day We are so happy to be a school with such a wonderfully diverse community, which blends together to form a very special family. We all work together to understand one another and to share our thoughts, ideas and experiences in order to help everyone grow and move forward. The different backgrounds, cultures and knowledge makes our school feel warm, welcoming and so fabulously multicultural. We aim to be a place which proves daily that by showing interest in others and recognising the worth of everyone, we all become better, stronger and happier.

• Wednesday 30 October 2024 Bede Buzz - Autumn 1 We haven’t received our final Ofsted report yet so we aren’t allowed to give any details out to you until we do. However, we did want to say that throughout it all, as they do every day, our children were nothing short of wonderful and the comments from the title here were made about them. We are so proud of the people that they are and how they are growing into such thoughtful humans able to think about themselves, and their emotions and the world around them. They are learning how to deal with challenge effectively; how to support others; how to give their best and how to work towards what they want from life. These are skills that everyone needs, and when you have them, you really can make positive changes in the world for yourself and others.
