A Thriving Community

The College has a long-standing tradition of scholarship and academic excellence. Our examination results are hugely impressive and we make no apologies for saying results matter. As important as they are, however, education at St Bede’s is about much more.

Excellent Facilities and Location

Located in Bristol, which is a vibrant cosmopolitan city with easy access to Wales, Devon, Cornwall and train links to London, our college offers excellent facilities and a dynamic setting in which to teach and grow. Our Sixth Form, opened in 2015, adds a further dimension to our educational offering, allowing staff to teach and inspire students from ages 11 to 18.

Professional Development

We invest in our staff. Through internal CPD, leadership opportunities, and collaboration across networks, you’ll be supported to reach your full potential in a school that values expertise and continuous learning.

The St Bede’s Way is a practical guide to the culture at St Bede’s. It is the way we aspire to do things, the expectations we have of each other and the support we provide to help us all succeed. It is the aim of all our community, both adults and students.

St Bede’s has one simple message: "Work Hard. Be Kind. Do The Right Thing".
