As ever, it has been both a busy and successful half-term at St Bede’s. As was the case a couple of seasons ago, the boys football teams across all years won the Blackburn Schools Cup, with Year 9 following this up with being Lancashire champions last week. Congratulations to all.
As you will know, this time of year is an extremely important time for our Year 11 pupils. I would like to acknowledge the hard work and dedication of both our pupils and staff. Every morning, without fail, our Year 11 pupils have arrived for pre-exam revision and have also taken the opportunity to attend revision sessions after school.
Our Year 8 cohort began their Sacrament of Confirmation earlier this week. Can I thank Father Brian once again for leading the preparation sessions on a Tuesday afternoon and we look forward to the service at Joseph’s Church in June.
I am sure you would want to join me in wishing our nominees every success at the upcoming National School Theatre Awards in London, following our outstanding production of Sister Act Jnr. We also have a number of talented golfers who have qualified for the National Schools Final in July. Can I thank all the staff for their commitment and the pupils for representing our school at such a high level.

Finally, can I thank you for your continued partnership and for all that you do to uphold the values that make our community so special. On behalf of the Governors, the staff and myself, can I wish every family a relaxing and enjoyable half-term holiday.
Believe all things are possible
