As we come to the end of another successful academic year, we are incredibly proud of everything our pupils, staff and wider school community have achieved over the past two terms. From inspiring classroom learning and creative projects to sporting success, educational visits, performances and community events, there has been so much to celebrate.
St Bede’s Catholic Primary School in Darlington was delighted to welcome families, friends and members of the local community to this year’s Bede’s Festival, which proved to be a tremendous success. The event was extremely well attended, with visitors enjoying a wide range of activities, entertainment and fundraising opportunities throughout the day. It was wonderful to see the school community come together and create such a positive and vibrant atmosphere.
Children in Lower Key Stage 2 at St Bede’s Catholic Primary School in Darlington enjoyed a fantastic afternoon learning about the challenges faced by people with visual impairments while also raising money for a great cause. The engaging activities helped pupils develop a greater understanding of accessibility, inclusion and the importance of supporting others.
