EDUCATION
IN ASSOCIATION WITH
Bede’s is underpinned by a holistic educational philosophy. This means that we believe in educating
the whole person, inspiring young people to achieve in every facet of their educational experience
and preparing each individual for life as well as exams.
We of course prepare young people for academic
success, and are one of the country’s leading
schools for value-added, but the opportunities
we offer cannot be found anywhere else and that
makes us unique.
Every day, pupils at Bede’s are engaged in
pursuits which liberate their creativity and talents,
revealing their pathways to future success. Our
philosophy of breadth and excellence in the
academic curriculum as well as our range of
cultural, aesthetic, intellectual and sporting
activities outside the classroom serves our pupils'
uniqueness very well, and our Co-Curricular
programme encourages the esoteric.
Additionally, the mix of people at Bede’s is truly
diverse. Aside from a large number of day pupils
from across Sussex, Surrey and Kent, we have
over 30 nationalities living on site in our stunning
boarding houses recognised by the Royal Institute
of Chartered Surveyors for their Outstanding
Design and Innovation and described by the
Good Schools Guide as “some of the most stylish
boarding we know”.
Pupils, teachers and parents all have roles to
play in the Bede's community, and we encourage
everyone to set their sights high. Our aim is for
each child to make an outstanding contribution
38
in all aspects of their lives: in school, in the local
community and the wider world.
We will do everything we can to make that
happen.
