There are many opportunities for students to explore their faith and to deepen
their relationship with God. Our regular assemblies are led by staff, Christians
from the wider community and by the students themselves. There are regular Anglican
Eucharists and Roman Catholic Masses, as well as celebrations of the major Christian
feasts in which the different denominations can share. A Christian Union and
student prayer group meet during lunch-time. We aim to provide every year group
with a reflection day and the older years with opportunities for residential
retreats.
St Bede's is fortunate in having a designated Chaplaincy area with a prayer
room and meeting room. The students are encouraged to see this as a
friendly, welcoming place as well as a place of prayer. The chaplain, as
part of the wider Pastoral Team of the school, is available to any member of
the school community who needs someone to talk to, or who wishes to discuss
a particular issue.
