Our Mission Statement - "Love one another as I have loved you." (John 13:34-35)
It is with great joy and a deep sense of responsibility that I introduce myself as the new Headteacher of St. Bede's Catholic Primary School. Our school is built on the strong foundation of our mission statement: "Love One Another as I Have Loved You." This guiding principle will continue to shape our ethos, inspiring us to foster a nurturing and inclusive environment where every child is cherished and encouraged to reach their full potential.
I am privileged to be supported in this journey by our highly experienced Deputy Headteacher, Mrs. Marie-Louise Peacock. With many years of experience in leading Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) and providing pastoral support to families, Mrs. Peacock's expertise and dedication are invaluable assets to our school. Together, we are committed to ensuring that every child feels supported, valued, and empowered to achieve their best. She will work alongside our dedicated SENDCO and our school PSA, in ensuring our families have the very best support.
At St. Bede's, we are dedicated to creating a positive and enriching educational experience for all our pupils. We believe in a holistic approach to education, where academic excellence is complemented by the development of character, resilience, and compassion. Our goal is to cultivate a love of learning in our pupils and to equip them with the skills and values needed to thrive in an ever-changing world.
As leaders, we are guided by the Gospel values of love, respect, honesty, and service. These values underpin every decision we make and every initiative we undertake. They remind us to put the needs of our pupils first, to act with integrity and to serve our community with humility and compassion. By embracing these values, we strive to create a school environment that reflects the teachings of Christ and fosters a sense of belonging and purpose for every child.
Together, we will continue to uphold the values of our mission statement and strive to create a school environment where every child can flourish academically, socially, and spiritually.
I am honoured to serve as your Headteacher and am excited to see what we will achieve together.
