Our Vision

Where every child finds joy in their pursuit of brilliance

Our Mission

We continue to craft a more joyful education.

• Cultivating a vibrant learning experience, motivating us to pursue our individual best.

• Providing a festival of opportunity, enabling us to discover new passions and develop new talents.

• Building a kind-hearted community, inspiring us to enhance the lives of others.

Our Values

BE COMPASSIONATE

Because a caring community fosters belonging. We expect our community to show kindness to people of all ages, genders and ethnicities, maintaining campuses where every person feels joyful and energised.

BE COURAGEOUS

Because fortune favours the brave.

We challenge our community to stand up for what is right, providing them with a safe environment where they can take bold action in pursuit of brilliance.

BE CURIOUS

Because wisdom can be found off the beaten track.

We encourage our community to discover unlikely passions and hidden niches, releasing them into a wealth of opportunities inside and outside the classroom.

BE CONSCIENTIOUS

Because dedication is a spearhead of success.

We ask our community to throw themselves wholeheartedly into every endeavour, taking responsibility for their journey and inspiring others to do the same.

PREFECT VISION 2024 – 2025

‘With privilege comes responsibility’

Every Bedian will aim to:

• Be proactive, rather than be reactive

• Change ‘me focused complaints’ to ‘us focused pupil-led initiatives’

• Fairly represent all pupils

• Celebrate in our differences

CHAPEL ARRANGEMENTS

• Chapel is an essential part of our school week. It is one opportunity to find moments of peace in a busy life. The weekly topics will revolve around both faith and values where the faith aspect is an exposure to the religious tradition of the Christian faith. Singing is an important and uplifting part of our Chapel experience. All are encouraged to take part.

• Chapel is compulsory for all and absence can only be granted by the Hm in agreement with the Chaplain. Personal faith is not expected; respect is.

• Pupils will be in their place, sitting silently and respectfully, ready for the service to commence at the advertised start time. The Chapel is open in advance of the Chapel services and pupils and staff are welcome to arrive early to sit quietly.

• Pupils are expected to self-regulate their behaviour and this is both the expectation and the norm. House prefects are present to monitor and encourage this attitude of reverence.

BOARDING AND WEEKEND PROGRAMME 2024

• Friday evenings – a social programme of events are available to all pupils. Pupils can sign up for these events electronically via a Google Form with instructions. Please note that day buses depart at 4.30 pm on Friday and therefore any day pupil wishing to join in with Friday evening sessions will have to make their own way home.

• Saturday mornings are open to all pupils. Day pupils should arrive at school prior to the start of the activity, register at the Porters Lodge and then should go directly to their weekend session where they will be registered. Lunch is available for all pupils in school on Saturdays. Day pupils should have departed by 1.30 pm and should sign out at the Porters Lodge. Please note all pupils selected for a sports team are expected to play in all fixtures as these take priority.

• The Boarding & Weekend Programme for the upcoming weekend and for the term can be viewed on the Pupil’s MyBede’s page under Co-Curricular.

LOST PROPERTY

The school cannot accept responsibility for loss or damage to the personal property of pupils. To minimise the possibility of property being lost:

• All pupils and their parents are required to make sure that all items of clothing and equipment are labelled, where possible, so that lost property is returned to its owner as soon as possible.

• Pupils are required to make sure that all their personal property and any school property issued to them is kept safely on their person.

• Parents are responsible for insuring their child’s personal items.

• Any items found at the School site or on school buses should be taken to the Porters’ Lodge, and if named will be returned to the pupils’ house as soon as possible.

• All unnamed/unclaimed lost property is disposed of at the end of each term.

THE VILLAGE SHOP

• As well as being part of the Bede’s Community we are all part of a wider Village Community and everyone should show care and thought to those within it.

• We expect everyone at Bede’s to behave in a compassionate and caring manner to all those that they come in contact with in the wider world.

• This is particularly important within the Village due to the high profile of the School within the locality.

• We recognise that this is incredibly important as Bede’s is at the centre of the Village, but also because we firmly believe that building a kind-hearted community fosters belonging and we want this for the whole Village as well as the School.

• Therefore everyone visiting the Village Shop must be aware of the impact that their actions can have on the Village and that they are ambassadors for the School.

• There are a number of properties that face directly into the waiting area outside the shop. This means that anyone visiting the Village Shop is very visible to local residents, who will in turn form an opinion of the reputation of Bede’s, based on the behaviour of those visiting whilst at the shop and when heading to and from the shop.

• Everyone should therefore do everything they can to be conscientious, kind and thoughtful in any of their interactions with residents and members of the public when visiting the Village Shop.

• Making excessive noise or using bad language when going to or from the shop or when waiting outside the shop is not in keeping with the aforementioned values.

• Walking thoughtfully along the pavements and being compassionate by bearing others in mind when doing so helps us build the right relationships with the Village.

Timings that must be followed by Pupils when visiting the Village Shop

• The Village Shop is out of bounds for all pupils, aside from those in the Sixth Form until the end of afternoon activities at 4.40 pm on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday and 4.20pm on Wednesday and Friday.

• Sixth Formers visiting should always make sure that they allow enough time to come back and should leave the shop fifteen minutes before the start of their next lesson or registration.

• Sixth Formers must ensure that they attend lunchtime registration with their house and should not use being at the shop as a reason to miss this.

• Exceptions to these rules are only allowed when permission is specifically given by a member of staff for a particular reason e.g. A tutor group visiting the shop.

• Pupils should not use visiting the Village Shop as a reason to miss other school commitments when they are required to be in another place.

• All pupils should be conscientious and take responsibility for the safety of their peers by ensuring that they go in pairs when walking to and from the shop in the dark during the Winter months.

On Wednesday and Friday Day pupils are allowed from 4.20 pm onwards.

• Pupils must walk to and from the Village Shop in the safest way possible along the pavement and should not try to visit the Village Shop by the footpath from the back of the fields in order to avoid being seen by members of Staff.

• Pupils should be mindful of cars when visiting the Village Shop and especially of cars coming to or from the residents houses or the car parking area outside the shop itself.

• Pupils must consider the importance of being ambassadors for the School and therefore consider their uniform when visiting the Village Shop.

Specifics on arrival and departure from the shop are in line with the above values

• Only four pupils are allowed to stand in the shop at a time – please note that this does not include those who are seated for dining. This is to ensure that the shop does not become too crowded and so pupils are not in any way seen as being a domineering presence by others who may be using the shop.

• Pupils must form an orderly queue behind the plant pots so that they are not blocking the entrance and should be caring and thoughtful towards those who are entering and exiting the shop.

• Pupils must respect the fact that tables are limited at the shop. The tables, both inside and outside the Village Shop are for dine-in customers only, meaning that those pupils who are waiting must not sit down at them as this would be selfish and not in line with being thoughtful to others. This also applies to any prefects who may be present and their friends. If pupils wish to dine in they just need to ask for a menu and they will be served.

• Pupils should respect the public and all other diners whilst in the shop.

• Pupils must not drop litter, on the road, pavement or area around the Village Shop.

• Pupils must not play ball games on the road, pavement or area around the Village Shop.

• Pupils should remember that the Village Shop does not belong to the school and is open to the public. Please be courteous at all times to members of the public and the staff in the shop.

Opening Hours

Please note that the times that the Village Shop is open do vary considerably and can also change on the day so what is below can only be seen as a guide.

Monday to Friday 8.30am – 6.00pm

Saturday 9.00am – 3.00pm

Sunday 9.00am – 3.00pm

OUT OF BOUNDS

• Please note the fields and path behind the Village Shop are out of bounds as well as any of the areas beyond the School fences which are private land owned by others.

• Trespassing onto the private land surrounding the School will be taken extremely seriously.

• Please also note that the area around the Greenhouses is also out of bounds.

MOBILE PHONES, AIRPODS AND HEADPHONES

• From the start of the school day until the end of the school day, mobile phones, headphones and AirPods must not be used by pupils and should not be seen. The only exceptions to this are the very specific examples when a phone is required. For example, making a payment, using two-factor authentication or, in certain classes, under teacher supervision, for filming or photographing or for listening to videos on devices in lessons.

• If pupils are seen with a phone, headphones and AirPods they will be confiscated and it is the responsibility of the pupil to collect them at the end of the day.

• These rules do not apply after the end of the school working day. Note that there are different rules inside Boarding Houses and also for Sixth Formers.

• Phones, headphones and AirPods should not be seen at any time in the Dining Hall, including all Boarders’ meal times outside of the school working day and at weekends.

• From the start of the school day until the end of the school day, pupils should not wear Headphones or AirPods around the campus during the hours of the school working day.

VISITORS TO BEDE’S CAMPUS

Bede’s welcomes parents and other people visiting the School, recognising the importance of interaction with non-School members. At the same time, however, we must ensure the safety and welfare of our pupils and avoid disruption to the educational process. Therefore, we ask parents, whenever possible, to make their visit known to the relevant member of staff (usually your child’s tutor or Housemaster/Housemistress) in advance. Pupils may not receive other visitors at School without the prior agreement of their Housemaster/Housemistress on each occasion. (For further details please see Bede’s Visitor Policy at www.bedes.org)

All visitors MUST report to the Porters’ Lodge.

SPORT AND ACTIVITY INFORMATION

At Bede’s we pride ourselves on a rich sporting provision. As an HMC school we must comply with their code of conduct – this applies to our players and our spectators.

TEAMBede’s - Inspire each generation

Sport plays a fundamental part of life at Bede’s. With a nationally recognised programme, world-class facilities and specialist coaches, opportunity, drive and participation is at the heart of what we do. Whether pursuing sport as a career or a hobby, Bede’s pupils are encouraged to exceed all expectations, grow in confidence and develop a life-long passion for health and fitness.

The ethos and core values of TEAMBede’s are:

Teamwork – Ask not what your team mates can do for you, but what you can do for them

Respect – Be fully committed in every session, appreciate the opportunity you have. Respect all those around you no matter who they are

Enjoyment – Comes from improvement, success, making friends and helping others develop. Understand your own goals. Positively encourage others to engage

Humility – Be humble, be aware of others, be polite. Thank those who spend time making sure you have a good experience

Discipline – Discipline from within. Be on time, in correct kit, be organised and respect the official’s decisions

Leadership – Communicate with positivity and trustworthiness, be motivational, be committed and support everyone

AT BEDE’S WE EXPECT

1. Our pupils to learn the rules and play within them; to show good sportsmanship at all times, never playing unfairly or arguing with officials.

2. Our spectators to set a good example by recognising fair play and applauding good performance by all players. Spectators should not comment in a negative manner towards any player, coach or official. Bad language will not be tolerated either on or off the field.

3. Pupils and spectators to accept the official’s judgements and decisions.

4. Parents are asked to be supportive of the selection decisions made by coaches, accepting that decisions are made on a broad range of selection criteria.

5. Our coaches to communicate with teams through the Bede’s Sport page and app. Team lists will appear 48 hours beforehand. It is the responsibility of the pupil to check the team list.

Bede’s has its own dedicated sports web page - http://sports.bedes.org Accessing this through a mobile device will automatically direct you to the Bede’s Sport App. The web page and app contains up to date information about fixtures, team lists and travel.

• All pupils selected for a school team are expected to play all fixtures. Parents must seek permission from the Director of Sport, Mr Byrne for a pupil to miss a fixture but this must be sought at least a week before via a parent/guardian email. Any pupil who misses a fixture without permission will receive a sanction.

• There will be occasions when fixtures have to be changed or cancelled. Please check the school sports page on the parent portal or ring the Sports Hall on 01323 356569 if you are uncertain.

• Sports Matches, Practices, Drama, Music and Dance rehearsals take priority on a Tuesday and Thursday afternoon over other events. Pupils involved in these activities must attend them.

• All times for Sports Matches are ‘kick off’ times; parents are welcome to attend any match.

• Cup fixtures cannot be planned in advance and therefore will appear in the online calendar and on the sports website.

DISCIPLINARY PROCEDURE FOR SPORT

• Stage 1 – Imposition and Sports Hall Detention (for repeated poor etiquette, poor kit or lateness)

• Stage 2 – Removed for up to a two-week period from the activity or/and Deputy Head Detention (for any repeats of stage 1, missing a fixture without adequate information or notice or dismissal from play during a fixture i.e. a Red Card)

• Stage 3 – Removed from programme (any repeat offences after stage 2)

Parents will be informed at each stage and decisions are made by the Director of Sport and SMT regarding all disciplinary issues.

ACTIVITY INFORMATION AND KIT

Expectations of pupil behaviour and dress are of the highest standard. Pupils must wear Bede’s Sports kit for all sporting activities at any time of the day. All pupils are expected to wear PE kit for their lessons and Activities kit for non-PE activities. Lessons and activities start promptly and lateness will not be tolerated for either lessons or Activities. If for any reason a pupil is unable to participate then a note must be provided for the relevant member of staff. House T-shirts can only be worn for House Competitions.

• Afternoon activities are compulsory and are part of the school day. Failure to attend an activity will result in a sanction.

• Pupils should not change their assigned activity without written permission from Mr Richards.

• Pupils must go to the assigned location for an activity at the correct time.

• Pupils who forget their kit for a sporting activity should stay with the activity and help run it with the member of staff.

• Pupils who are injured, missed the bus or whose teacher is absent should go to ICT3 for ‘Missed Activities’.

• Private Study is supervised – all pupils must register for Private Study.

• The Village Shop is out of bounds during activity time unless there is an activity scheduled to take place there.

If a pupil wishes to disclose something to you, you should tell them that you will listen to what they say but will need to tell the relevant staff.

What to do: Listen, don’t ask leading questions, do not put words into their mouths. Make accurate, detailed notes at the time or immediately afterwards, this is to be done on MyConcern. You should not discuss with other colleagues until advice has been sought from the safeguarding team. Report the disclosure to Annabel Hodge, Nik Driver, Shawn Williams, Amy Dove or Paul Juniper as soon as possible, this can be done in person or via MyConcern. (Any member of staff can make a referral to Children’s Services Duty and Assessment team directly if they feel the need to do so or if they feel that a child protection disclosure is not being dealt with effectively or ef昀ciently).

IT IS NOT YOUR JOB TO INVESTIGATE, ONLY TO REPORT AND REFER.

BEDE’S PUPIL COMPLAINTS PROCEDURE (TRUST)

STAGE 1

If a pupil has a worry or complaint, in most cases they will be able to communicate that informally to an adult who knows them. Any pupil having a grievance can approach any of the members of staff within their House or indeed the School (their Housemaster/ mistress, tutor, form teacher or matron would normally be the person best placed to deal with the matter in the first instance).

If a pupil feels that their problem has not been properly addressed or sorted out the following procedure is laid down whereby they can make a more formal complaint. A pupil will not be penalised for making a formal complaint in good faith.

STAGE 2

If any pupil feels the need to make a formal complaint about a matter which is causing distress or a problem which cannot be otherwise resolved he or she should inform (at the Senior School) a Deputy Head, Assistant Head or the Chaplain, or (at the Prep School) the Deputy Head, Head of Year or the Welfare Officer either verbally or in writing. The complaint will be acknowledged within two days and a written record will be made of the complaint.

STAGE 3

The complaint will be investigated by a mutually agreed, independent person, sanctioned by the Headmaster, and resolved either to the pupil’s satisfaction or with an otherwise appropriate outcome, which balances the rights and duties of those involved. The investigation will normally be completed within two weeks. The complainant will be informed of the outcome in writing.

STAGE 4

If the pupil, or his/her parents or carers, feel that the procedure detailed above has not dealt with the complaint satisfactorily then a letter setting out the unresolved complaint should be sent to the Headmaster. The School will then follow the Bede’s Complaints Policy, which is available on the website.

IN ADDITION

Pupils are also reminded that they have access to help outside of the School.
