About St. Bede's Catholic School and Sixth Form College

The village of Lanchester has a population of 4,000, and is located 8 miles to the West of Durham. In spite of the village’s relative size, St. Bede’s is a larger than average school with a wide catchment area. The school is named for an English monk referred to as the ‘father of English history’.

Values and vision

As a Catholic community St. Bede’s offers many opportunities to participate in a vibrant and dynamic spiritual life. The school is very proud of the broad and balanced curriculum offered, and aims to ensure that each students enjoys their time with us and that they each achieve success in every course they study from Year 7 to Year 13. The Gospel Values of Jesus Christ are not only taught but experienced through the work undertaken here and the quality of relationships with others. The Catholic ethos of the school enables every member of the community to grow fully and to know their own unique value and worth.

The school is very fortunate to have its own well-appointed Chapel and to have a full time Chaplain, who works in partnership with staff, guiding and supporting students through their journeys of faith and academic learning.
