Bede's
Bede's is an independent day and boarding school for boys and girls aged 3 months to 18 years. The school is situated on two separate sites, with the prep school by the sea in Eastbourne and the senior school located in the heart of the Sussex countryside. The school prides itself on 'discovering and developing the talents of each and every pupil' and is a school 'where every girl and boy is encouraged to aspire to be the best they can be, but most importantly they are empowered to enjoy their learning.'
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.'

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.
