Team Bede’s values Our pupils are encouraged to embrace our core values from the very beginning of their journey at Bede’s:
Teamwork . Respect . Enjoyment . Humility . Discipline . Leadership
Our Philosophy Our philosophy of engagement is threaded through all of sports and year-round Academy Programmes, from the Pre-Prep years right up to Sixth Form, and we put heavy emphasis on encouraging children to try as many sports as they can. Bede’s aims to provide the opportunity for excellence in sport, to encourage passion and participation for sport in every generation, to give our pupils the opportunity to challenge themselves, develop leadership skills and reach their goals. In addition to our three Core Pathway Sports - Football, Hockey and Cricket and our three Core Sports - tennis, swimmingand netball there are are over twenty different sports programmes available and our expert coaches in all sporting fields look to enable success in every young person at every skill level.
Our Mission Sport plays a fundamental part in life at Bede’s and our pupil centred approach and varied sporting programme allows all of our pupils to find a sport which they enjoy while fostering a culture which recognises achievement and endeavour. With a nationally-recognised programme, which included three Core Sports, four Competitive Sports, and eight Support Sports, we offer world-class facilities and specialist coaches. Whether pursuing sport as a career or a hobby, Bede’s pupils are encouraged to exceed all expectations, grow in confidence and develop a lifelong passion for health and fitness.
