We are excited to welcome a new cohort of children into our St. Bede’s family in September 2025. As a community,we pride ourselves on exceptional pastoral support for every young person in our care, as well as aidingthem to achieve fantastic outcomes.
We know that transition from primary school represents a significant change in a young person’s life and sowe have developed a thorough and staged process that takes place over months prior to September so
everyone can get off to a flying start in Year 7.
Below, we attach details of a number of events that are taking place over the next number of months to aid this transition – we strongly encourage our incoming Year 7 pupils and their families to take part. We will communicate more detail about the events nearer the time.
