Sean**, joined by pupils and staff from **Our Lady of the Rosary School** as well as members of the parish community. Coming together in this way was a meaningful and uplifting start to this sacred week, giving our school family the opportunity to pause, reflect, and prepare our hearts for the days ahead. Our students were outstanding throughout—reverent, engaged, and deeply respectful of the significance of the celebration. Their thoughtful participation helped create a calm, prayerful atmosphere and offered a powerful reminder of the hope, humility, and compassion at the heart of Holy Week. We are grateful to Fr. Sean, our visitors from Our Lady of the Rosary, and everyone who contributed to making this a special moment in our school’s spiritual life. ![](https://st-bedes.org/images/Website_Photo_Standard_Size(1).png) [Chaplaincy](https://st-bedes.org/news/tag/chaplaincy) [ Feast Day of the Anunciation / Stations of the Cross](https://st-bedes.org/news/2026-03-25-feast-day-of-the-anunciation-stations-of-the-cross) [Free Easter Holiday Sessions Available for Children on Free School Meals ](https://st-bedes.org/news/2026-04-02-free-easter-holiday-sessions-available-for-children-on-free-school-meals) ### About Us - [Headteacher's Welcome](https://st-bedes.org/about-us) - [Events](https://st-bedes.org/events) - [News](https://st-bedes.org/news) - [Our Community](https://st-bedes.org/about-us/our-community) - [Our Governing Body](https://st-bedes.org/about-us/our-governing-body) - [Our Mission & Values](https://st-bedes.org/about-us/our-mission-values) - [Our Prospectus](https://st-bedes.org/about-us/our-prospectus) - [Our Staff](https://st-bedes.org/about-us/our-staff) - [School Day](https://st-bedes.org/about-us/school-day) - [Vacancies](https://st-bedes.org/about-us/vacancies) ![St. Bede’s Catholic School and Byron Sixth Form](https://files.schudio.com/st-bede-s-catholic-school-and-byron-sixth-form/images/logo/logo-footer-with-diocese-02(2).png) ### St. Bede’s Catholic School and Byron Sixth Form Westway Peterlee SR8 1DE 0191 587 6220 ### Trust Information - [Website Terms](https://bccet.org.uk/website-terms/) - [Accessibility Statement](https://bccet.org.uk/accessibility-statement/) - [Privacy Notice](https://bccet.org.uk/privacy-policy/) ### Social Media - [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/StBedesandByron/#) © Copyright 2025–2026 St. Bede’s Catholic School and Byron Sixth Form School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://st-bedes.org/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
