THE BEEHIVE IS OPEN! 🐝

Today marked our inaugural lunchtime Beehive - a safe and supportive space for our Upper Third pupils as they navigate the transition to College life.

Pupils discussed practical executive functioning strategies, from organising their bags to managing free time and keeping track of deadlines.

Moving from primary to secondary school is a monumental step that we never overlook at St Bede’s. The room was buzzing with positivity as pupils openly shared what has - and hasn’t - worked for them alongside, backed by guidance from experienced members of the Upper Third pastoral team.

We are so proud of the commitment our newest Collegiate pupils have shown this September! 🍯🐝
