St Bede’s School, Redhill

“Pupils behave exceptionally well … [and] are unfailingly respectful to each other, to staff and to visitors. Pupils are happy and feel safe. [They] have many opportunities to both develop and discover interests. This includes an innovative ‘elective’ programme in year 8. Pupils select from a wide array of topics which go beyond the usual curriculum. This allows pupils to personalise what they study while still having an excellent common curriculum ... Pupils, including those in the sixth form, achieve very highly ... As well as strong academic outcomes, leaders have also focused on the pupils’ broader development. There is a well-planned curriculum for personal, social, health and economic (PSHE) education ... Pupils across the school are tolerant of differences and have a good understanding of life in modern Britain.”
