Worried about joining St Bede’s? Don’t be! Our current pupils are looking forward to meeting you, and they have written a few messages to help calm your nerves and welcome you to our school…
Benjamin
Hi, my name is Ben, and I’d like to welcome you to St. Bede’s. I am the Head Pupil for Year 7. Before joining St. Bede’s, I attended St. Joseph’s RC Primary School, Brindle.
Since arriving in January of Year 7, I’ve really enjoyed school life here. St. Bede’s has given me so many opportunities, including memorable trips to France, Iceland and Belgium. I’ve also had the privilege of being a Guardian, which allowed me to take part in whole-school events and support younger pupils.
My favourite subjects are Geography, PE and Food & Nutrition, and I’ve loved getting involved in the many clubs available at lunchtime and after school. The teachers are dedicated, the atmosphere is welcoming, and there is always something new to try.
As I look ahead to Year 11, I’m excited to continue being a supportive leader and to give back to the school that has given me so much. I am proud to represent St. Bede’s and look forward to making a positive difference in the year ahead.
Darcie
Hi, I’m Darcie, and I previously attended St. Edward’s RC Primary School. The subjects I enjoy most are History and English because I love expressing my opinions and exploring new ideas. I also have a real passion for Music and Science, as they allow me to engage with both the creative and logical sides of the curriculum.
During my time at St. Bede’s, I’ve been given so many opportunities – from taking part in Performing Arts productions to representing the school in various sports teams. Most importantly, St. Bede’s has supported me in becoming my true self.
As I look ahead to Year 11, I’m excited to take on the role of Head Pupil and to make the most of my final year here. I would recommend St. Bede’s without hesitation; it is a school built on compassion and love, where every pupil is encouraged to shine as the best version of themselves.
Jacob
Hi, I’m Jacob, and I will be leading Year 10 as Head Pupil. Before joining St. Bede’s, I attended The Redeemer Primary School. As a huge sports fan, PE is my favourite subject, but I also really enjoy Maths, Physics and Geography.
Outside the classroom, I’ve taken part in a wide range of experiences at St. Bede’s – from school trips to extra‑curricular activities across Sport, Music and Drama. I’ve also been trusted with several leadership roles, including serving as a Prayer Leader and a Guardian.
Next year, I’m especially looking forward to representing the school as Head Pupil and going on the Iceland trip. I’m also excited to help make our school an even better place for everyone.
I would recommend St. Bede’s to anyone. It is a school that strives for academic excellence, offers extra‑curricular opportunities for every interest, and has staff who genuinely care about us as individuals.
Lieghland
Hi, I’m Lieghland, and I would highly recommend St. Bede’s for its wide variety of GCSE courses, the many opportunities it offers, and the amazing staff who teach and support us. I will be leading Year 8, and I previously attended St. Stephen’s, Tockholes.
Even though only a few pupils came with me from primary school, I was made to feel welcome straight away by older pupils and staff. There is always someone to turn to if you need help here, which makes a huge difference.
During my time at St. Bede’s, I’ve taken part in a wide range of opportunities, including completing my Duke of Edinburgh Bronze Award, leading at community events, attending Post‑16 Open Days, joining Drama productions and completing Work Experience. I genuinely love learning here. My favourite subjects are Creative I‑Media, Chemistry and Maths – and even in subjects I’m less confident in, the supportive teachers help everyone to shine.
Olivia
Hi, I’m Olivia, and I’d like to welcome you to our inclusive school – a community I would wholeheartedly recommend. It is a wonderful place to belong, and it is a real honour to wear our school badge each day. The staff and pupils make St. Bede’s a supportive environment where everyone can grow.
As Head Pupil for Year 9, I’m looking forward to supporting pupils through their final year of Key Stage 3 before they begin their GCSE journey. I previously attended St. Edward’s RC Primary School, and I am currently enjoying Art and Maths.
Before joining St. Bede’s, I didn’t realise just how many opportunities the school offers. There are endless chances to meet new people and explore new places through trips, extra‑curricular activities and charity events. These experiences have helped me grow in confidence and feel part of something bigger.
I’m excited for my final year at St. Bede’s – especially as my brother joins us in Year 7 – and I’m focused on my GCSE studies while continuing to support the school in my role as Head Pupil.
