Throughout the five years at Our Lady and St Bede Catholic Academy, we understand the importance of personal development as well as academic achievements.

Here in school, every pupil has the opportunity to live out our core virtues each day, which nurtures, guides and prepares them for the opportunities and challenges in their life ahead. Below are our eight virtues:

The community of Our Lady and St Bede Catholic Academy are constantly striving to have:

Respect for others and themselves, recognising that we are all created in the image of God and therefore must be Compassionate towards others, especially the vulnerable

Confidence in their own abilities, knowing that their talents are gifts from God and Resilience to persevere when things become difficult.

Honesty in regards to the world around them and themselves and to take Responsibility for the times we may fall short of the mark.

Self-belief in their uniqueness and worth, always underpinning their decisions with Justice, willing to stand in solidarity with those less fortunate than themselves.
