Academics

At Bede’s Summer School, every student is given the chance to discover happiness in their pursuit of excellence. The institution continually moulds an enriched educational journey, creating a vibrant learning environment that drives each individual towards their utmost potential. By providing a vast expanse of opportunities, they enable students to uncover new passions and refine unique talents. Furthermore, they prioritise building a compassionate community that motivates everyone to uplift those around them.

Their courses, carefully designed to both stimulate and captivate, are a testament to their commitment. This dedication ensures that every student not only learns English but also establishes enduring international friendships. Now in its thirty-first year, Bede’s Summer School remains unwavering in its pursuit of maintaining the highest standards of student care and quality in every facet of the learning experience.

Extracurriculars

Bede’s Summer School offers additional courses and extracurriculars via its ‘Academies’, Bede’s unique approach to professional training. Coaching spans a range of sports, creative pursuits, leisure activities, and academic subjects. These academies are engineered with the goal of amplifying students’ expertise, dexterity, and technical know-how. Designed as an alternative to the typical camp-style sports afternoons, the academies grant students the flexibility to tailor their learning experience. This structure extends learning beyond the conventional classroom setting.

There are many advantages to these academies. While some are crafted to invigorate students’ inventive faculties, others aim to augment their introspective abilities or foster critical thinking. Certain academies focus on enhancing physical fitness and agility, whereas others prioritise nurturing self-assurance, encouraging students to venture beyond their customary boundaries. Regardless of the discipline – be it athletic, artistic, recreational, or scholastic – each academy is unified in its commitment to bolstering students’ communication proficiency, self-confidence in articulation, and fluency.

Accommodation

Students are given the opportunity to live alongside peers hailing from the world over, promoting cultural interaction, multilingual communication, and the development of new friendships. Each boarding house is equipped with bathrooms on every floor that are designed for shared use. With Bede’s staff residing within these same premises, they are constantly available, ensuring that any arising concerns, even nocturnal ones, are promptly addressed. A pivotal figure in each boarding house is the House Parent, who is entrusted with the efficient operations of the house and the ultimate comfort and welfare of its residents.

To ensure consistency and clarity, the school adopts a daily routine of house registers and meetings, guaranteeing all students are updated on the day’s itinerary. In terms of practical amenities, a laundry service, managed by the House Parent, is provided for students a minimum of twice weekly, and its cost is incorporated into the overall fee.

Safety measures are of paramount importance, leading to weekly unscheduled fire drills ensuring student familiarity with evacuation processes. Finally, while Bede’s determines boarding arrangements based on weekly enrollments, they do take into consideration accommodation requests from students. However, they note that while they aim to fulfil these requests, they cannot always guarantee their availability upon arrival.
