Our portfolio of optional Academies perfectly exemplifies our approach towards student-centred learning and programme design. Each student can customise their experience at Bede’s with the opportunity to extend and expand their learning in and out of the classroom in small, supervised groups under expert tuition. Academies can bring many benefits to the students, such as stimulating their creativity, expanding their capacity for reflection and helping them to develop their critical thinking skills. Some raise students’ fitness levels and ability, while others help students to improve their self-confidence by challenging them to step outside of their comfort zone. Every Academy, whether it be a sport, creative activity, leisure pursuit or academic subject, will help students to develop their communication skills, confidence in speaking and fluency.
