Features

Things to note

  • Sports teams have proven not only extremely popular, but also extremely successful, with under 12 football team recently being crowned national champions! Whatever the sport you love, and whatever your level, there is always something to get involved with. From favourites like Athletics and Rounders to ski trips and visits to trampoline parks, there is always something to get you moving at St. Bede’s.
  • If your passion is more for the stage than the sports field, then they have plenty to keep you occupied. Annual musical theatre productions are widely anticipated, with workshops from West End professionals throughout the year to ensure we are creating triple threat performers.
  • Musicians take part in various orchestras and small chamber groups, with Gospel and Pop choirs about to embark on a Performing Arts trip to Paris (including a performance at Disneyland).
  • Dance-wise, biannual showcase allows students to show off the skills they have worked on in their various lunchtime clubs (ballet, contemporary, jazz and commercial to name but a few) as well as demonstrate their own choreographic abilities.
