ST. BEDES SCHOOL LIMITED

What ST. BEDES SCHOOL LIMITED does

St Bede's School Limited is a Catholic state-maintained secondary school and sixth form located at Carlton Road, Redhill, Surrey, RH1 2LQ, England. It delivers secondary education from Year 7 through Year 13, including GCSE programmes at Key Stage 4 and A-Level and Cambridge Technical pathways at Sixth Form, framed by a Christian ethos built around the values of Belonging, Education, Determination, Excellence, and Service. The school is led by Headteacher Mr A Powell, who has held the role since April 2017, and reports a headcount of 11-50 employees.

The institution serves students aged 11-18 in the Redhill/Surrey catchment, alongside their parents and carers, with admissions routed through Surrey County Council's coordinated process for Years 7-11 and a direct application process for sixth-form entry. The core curriculum covers all National Curriculum subjects, supplemented by careers education, extracurricular clubs, sports, performing arts, residential trips, chaplaincy provision, and SEND inclusion support. Academic outcomes have been strong: 94% of students achieved grade 4+ in English and Maths in the 2024 GCSEs, with nearly 40% of grades at 9-7; A-Level A*-B reached 56.5% in 2020, up over five percentage points from 2019.

The operating model is fundamentally a government-funded education provider. Primary revenue flows through UK state per-pupil funding with marginal ancillary income from school shop sales, uniform, and a facilities-for-hire (lettings) offering including a fitness suite. The technology stack is built on third-party, off-the-shelf infrastructure: Google Sites hosts separate Staff, Student, Sixth Form, and Governor portals; Bromcom MyChildAtSchool handles parent communication; Scopay (alongside ParentPay/WisePay/PayPal integrations on the website) processes payments; Google Analytics, Issuu, and standard social-media integrations support web analytics, document publishing, and community engagement. Partnerships include i2i Teaching Partnership for teacher training and CAFOD for charitable engagement.
