Bede’s Foundation
“
We want to make a difference to the lives of young adults who never ever thought they would be able to access a Bede’s education. Ultimately, it comes down to social mobility, to creating a ripple effect across our school, local and wider communities where every single person is afforded the opportunities that a Bede’s education provides – no matter their background. – HEAD AND CEO PETER GOODYER ”
Since our school began, Bede’s has had philanthropy rooted at its very core and many pupils have benefited from transformational bursaries, demonstrating that our core ethos of Compassion, Courage, Conscientiousness and Curiosity is a living and breathing part of everything that we do. In September 2022 we created the Bede’s Transformational Bursary Fund, and in June 2023 launched the Bede’s Development Foundation. The mission of this campaign is to create in excess of twenty 110% Sixth Form transformational bursaries by 2029; the Senior School’s 50th anniversary at The Dicker. A Bede’s transformational bursary is worth 110% and targets those from the most disadvantaged backgrounds and covers a pupil’s fees, transport, uniform and co-curricular programme so that they face no barrier to the opportunities Bede’s provides when they take up their place with us. Making our bursaries truly transformational. For every week booked at the Bede’s Summer School, £20 is donated to the Bede’s Transformational Bursary Fund,, which means together the Summer School will fund two 110% transformational bursaries a year for those most in need.
