Our sporting facilities
from Sports Brochure
Bede’s provides extensive, state of the art sporting facilities across the 120 acre campus site at the Senior School. There are exceptional indoor and outdoor facilities for team games and other sports including:
Pitches: Seven high quality, full size grass pitches as well as an olympic standard water-based astro. Our professional Grounds team works tirelessly all year round to maintain our pitches, ensuring the highest quality training grounds for teams of all levels.
Fitness Suite: Our gym is of the highest standard and is the centre of our highly regarded Strength and Conditioning Programme. The equipment is regularly upgraded in order to ensure that our gym continues to offer the same calibre as any private gym and suits the requirement for both functional and sport specific training. Sports Centre: Our multi-purpose hall, acts as the hub for sport at Bede’s and is home to an 8-court sports hall, squash courts, fitness suite and our 25 metre, 6 lane competition sized swimming pool as well as classrooms for the teaching of PE.
Astro: Bede’s water-based astro was constructed to a national standard in 2015 and is one of only a handful of such high-quality pitches in the country. The pitch is hydrated by water jets ahead of matches enabling the ball to glide across the pitch in ways which increase both accuracy and control.
Tennis courts: Known as the “Wimbledon Courts” due to the purple and green colour scheme, the five main courts at Bede’s have been supplemented with additional courts on the neighbouring MUGA (Multi-Use Games Area) which also contain seven outdoor cricket nets.
