Bede's
Head Peter Goodyer says: 'Every child is unique, each possessing hidden talents which wait, like treasure, longing to be unearthed.'
'At Bede's, we foster a community of discovery which encourages every individual to find and develop these passions, seek new horizons, develop lasting friendships and achieve their potential.'
Attain asked the school, what makes Bede's different – and why should parents consider it?
We offer education from the age of 3 months through to 18 years and pride ourselves on developing the talents of each and every pupil.
Bede's is a school where every pupil is encouraged to aspire to be the best they can be, but most importantly they are empowered to enjoy their learning.
Bede's is a colourful and busy place, with lots of energy and a delightful rhythm. We are welcoming, kind and extremely ambitious for all of our pupils.
At Bede's, we foster a community of discovery which encourages every individual to find and develop these passions, seek new horizons, develop lasting friendships and achieve their potential.
We are also, significantly, firm believers that if children are happy during their time in school then their happiness will inform their successes – so much so that every teacher and pupil at Bede's is united by the idea that if we support one another and work hard then we can all exceed every expectation.
Bede’s School includes a number of truly unique amenities including its own zoo, a multi-award winning art school and the UK’s oldest residential modern dance and ballet school.
The school is a registered charity managed by a board of governors. Read more on the Charity Commission website.

Peter Goodyer is the Head and CEO of Bede's and joined the school in 2016.
