Building an alumni community to inspire our students.
We are very proud of the achievements of our students. St Bede's and St Joseph's is a supportive environment which sets the foundation for success in the wider world.
We are always keen to hear from former students about their achievements and career progression. Please contact us with news of your success and a photograph if appropriate. We can then make contact and follow up on many more success stories.
