Didn’t the school motto catch your eye? It speaks volumes about St Bede’s Catholic Infant School.
St Bede’s Catholic Infant School stands here on Thornton Road. It is a place where respect, responsibility, resilience, and reflection thrive. Everyone matters here. That’s not just a saying. The school lives it.
St Bede’s is a nursery and infant school. It is a LA Maintained school. The school’s URN is 208- 5203.
Pupils at St Bede’s are happy and feel safe. They enjoy lunchtime activities. They also like attending after-school clubs. Reading is a priority here. The children love listening to stories. They enjoy choosing books from the school library. National events like World Book Day are big. The school also celebrates National Poetry Day.
Even the youngest children have a voice here. Nursery Year pupils are on the school council. Leaders ensure pupils help review systems. These systems directly impact them. The behaviour policy is one example. Pupils know what bullying is. They confidently report it. Staff address any concerns swiftly.
The curriculum offers a broad range of subjects. PE lessons ensure pupils develop knowledge. They gain skills missed during the COVID-19 pandemic. Leaders also provide extra learning opportunities at lunchtime.
Mathematics focuses on core concepts. The children learn key vocabulary. Early years children learn number bonds to 10.
Reading receives top priority. Pupils learn letter sounds systematically. They use these sounds to read and write words accurately. Extra help supports weaker readers. These efforts show positive results.
Teachers and support staff understand pupils’ needs. They break down instructions into smaller steps. This helps pupils with special educational needs.
Mrs. Ewa Ostrynska is the head teacher. She can be reached via the school website. The school’s phone number is 02086747292.
St Bede’s opened its doors many years ago. It continues to nurture young minds. It creates a strong foundation for lifelong learning. It is a place where every child matters. It is a small school. There is a school capacity of 115. The number of pupils is 87.
