Welcome to St Bede’s Catholic Primary School in Darlington, a warm, inclusive and high‑quality learning community offering exceptional education from nursery (age 3) through to Year 6. We provide a nurturing start, a strong academic foundation and a caring environment where every child feels supported, valued and ready to thrive.
Today, our Year 5/6 children took part in a beautiful creative prayer activity to begin their Lenten journey.
As part of Children’s Mental Health Week — and with Valentine’s Day in mind — our Year 1/2 children took time to reflect on what makes them special. They created thoughtful lists of all the reasons they love themselves.
Our Eco Warriors planned and led a thoughtful and purposeful Eco Morning for the whole school community, guiding pupils through activities that deepened their understanding of stewardship and care for God’s creation.
Our St Bede’s Nursery offers a caring and stimulating environment for children aged 3 and above. With skilled early years practitioners, engaging activities and a focus on early communication and social development, our nursery gives children the perfect start to their learning journey.
