Our Houses

At St Bede’s and St Joseph’s Catholic College, we are committed to developing our students as happy, confident, spiritually awake young people with a sense of community and a passion and a thirst for learning.

We are also mindful of the first stated aim of St Bede’s school which, when agreed back in June 1900, stated that the school would;

"provide a Catholic education equal in every respect to that which is given in the best public schools in England’.

To help us meet these aims, we have a House system that facilitates the building of cohesive family units within our College and helps us to strengthen the relationship with our parents and carers. It also provides the framework for further development of the Christus Lumen Gentium diploma.

Ultimately, through the House system, we will expose every student to a wide range of opportunities and experiences that will support their learning, develop their leadership skills and enhance their enjoyment of College. 

(Please note, these developments will not impact on your child’s curriculum offer or the site that they attend).
