Powerful academics Although the core subjects of English, maths, science and languages remain central, pupils in the First Year are given a huge amount of scope to invest time in the arts, dance and other passions – or to benefit from ‘The World’ carousel, which delivers learning in humanities, philosophy and more. GCSE choices are broad (pupils take on an appropriate number of subjects) and there are 33 A-level and BTEC options, including media studies, photography, animal management and dance. Some international students take A-level in their native language in Year 12 and the Lower Sixths also do the Bede’s Diploma, a one- year programme divided into four parts: Extend, an additional qualification such as further maths, an EPQ or arts, sports or financial qualification; Engage, 20 hours of community service;

Pupils fly confidently from Bede’s to Russell Group universities, the Royal Academy of Music, dance and drama colleges, including Elmhurst and Laine Theatre Arts, and many win hockey and football scholarships to the US or contracts with professional clubs, which in recent years has included Premiership football teams. Although Bede's is not an academically selective school, we deliver impressive academic results which we believe are achieved through our outstanding teaching provision, but also our ‘finding joy’ philosophy, whereby children can explore their passions alongside their studies. In 2024 some 80% of pupils achieved A*-B in their A levels.
