We work closely with IntoUniversity. They are a fantastic bunch of people with an admirable mission: to help children find their passion in learning and to support them towards their best futures. Have you looked into their after school offers? They really are too good to miss.

Fabulous Fridays are back in KS2! 🎶🎹🎼

Our Friday mornings look a little different than the rest of the week. It’s our time to

“feel the rhythm, feel the rhyme, learn a
language—it’s music and Spanish time!" 🇪🇸✨

We have some incredibly exciting musical updates for this year:
🎤 Singing with Primary Robins: We are thrilled to welcome our new singing teacher, Christina, who will be joining each KS2 class. We kicked off today with a soulful Native American song (which we will soon learn to sing in a round!) and a sneak peek into Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat.
📸 Class 3 Spotlight: Check out the video/photos below! Some of our brilliant Class 3 children, who weren't camera shy at all, wanted to give you a taste of what they enjoyed singing today.
🪕 Ukuleles are Back: Ukulele lessons resumed today for Years 4 and 5, while Year 3 absolutely loved having their very first lesson with Lizzie!🎺 Brass Beats: Year 6 started their brand-new trumpet lessons with Mr. Ruston today—what a fantastic start!
What a truly fabulous end to our first full week back at school! Have a wonderful weekend, everyone! ❤️

Goodbye y6 and well done on everything you have achieved in your lives at Bede. We wish you all much happiness and all the best that life has to offer. We hope your memories with us are sweet, but that what is to come for you is even sweeter.
Hope everyone has a very happy summer. Have fun x
Ice creams were from the y6 families. Thank you to all of you too. It was a lovely end to primary school life.
