Year 6 Leavers' Celebration

Tonight, our Year 6 pupils enjoyed a fantastic end-of-year celebration with a 65ft inflatable assault course and a pizza party!

They had an amazing time celebrating together and, as always, their behaviour was exceptional.

A huge thank you to our Year 6 staff for supporting this event and to Tracey for cooking the delicious pizzas.

Today, we were delighted to welcome a very special guest to St Bede's – The Mayor of Chorley – who kindly presented awards during our End of Year Awards Assembly.

It was a wonderful opportunity to celebrate the achievements of so many of our pupils. Certificates and awards were presented to children who completed the Junior Duke Award, the Year 4 Art Award, and the Faith in Action Award. We also celebrated our Reading Raffle winners – congratulations to Amelia J and Rio P – and announced our overall House winners for the year. Well done to St Teresa's House! 🏆💙

The assembly was also a chance to recognise and thank the incredible people who have given so much to our school community. We paid tribute to Mrs Fitz-Gibbon for her many years of dedicated service as a Governor at St Bede's.

We also thanked Mrs Parnell, Miss Sampson and Ms Surrage as they prepare to move on to new opportunities. We wish them every success and happiness for the future.

A special thank you was also given to our wonderful volunteer, Mrs McEveley, whose weekly support listening to our readers has had such a positive impact on so many children.

To round off the celebrations, our fantastic school choir received a certificate in recognition of their participation in Chorley Sings before treating us to two beautiful performances.

Thank you to everyone who helped make today's assembly such a memorable way to celebrate another fantastic year at St Bede's. We are so proud of all our children and grateful to the staff, volunteers and governors who make our school such a special place. 💙⭐

Yesterday, our Reception children had their very first go on our brand-new balance bikes—and what a hit they were! 🚲✨

There were smiles, laughter, and lots of growing confidence as the children practised balancing and riding. They even declared it "the best day ever!" 💙

Last Saturday, our Year 4 pupils celebrated a very special milestone as they made their First Holy Communion at St Bede's Church.
The children were wonderful throughout the celebration and were exceptionally well prepared for this important sacrament. We would like to extend our sincere thanks to Father Mark, Mr Kennedy (Year 4 Class Teacher) and all the catechists for their support, guidance and dedication in helping the children prepare so thoroughly.
This morning, we came together as a school community for a special whole-school Mass to celebrate the children’s First Holy Communion. Afterwards, we enjoyed refreshments together with the children from St Joseph's, who also made their First Holy Communion at St Bede's Church.
