Mission Statement - Love, Learn, Serve

At St Bede’s, our mission is to Love, Learn, Serve. We encourage our children to show kindness and respect to others, develop a lifelong love of learning, and use their talents to support those around them. Guided by the teachings of Jesus, we aim to nurture confident, caring, and responsible young people who are prepared to make a positive impact in the world.

Being a Bede
Our core values, known as “Being a Bede,” bring our mission to life and guide daily school life:
B – Behaviour: Showing kindness, respect, and responsibility.
E – Engagement: Being curious, motivated, and enthusiastic learners.
D – Devotion: Committing to our faith, our learning, and supporting each other.
E – Excellence: Striving to do our best in all that we do.

By embracing these values, our pupils develop into confident, caring, and capable young people ready to contribute positively to their community and beyond.

Our Mission Statement in Scripture
Guided by the teachings of Jesus, we encourage our children to show kindness and respect to others (“Love your neighbour as yourself” – Matthew 22:39), develop a lifelong love of learning (“Let the wise hear and increase in learning” – Proverbs 1:5), and use their talents to support those around them (“As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another” – 1 Peter 4:10).

We aim to nurture confident, caring, and responsible young people who are prepared to make a positive impact in the world, reflecting Jesus’ example of love, learning, and service to others. “As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another, as good stewards of God’s varied grace.” – 1 Peter 4:10
