I am proud to say that Bede students leave us fully prepared for their next steps. We have a three-year trend of 98% positive destinations – students leave us to go into higher education, employment or apprenticeships. These figures are significantly higher than the national benchmark for sixth form colleges, and with our culture of continuous improvement, we can guarantee you a fulfilling and enriching post-16 education.
During the past year, we have continued to establish links with local employers and businesses to ensure that Bede students are provided with significant work experience opportunities. In the past year alone, our
students have worked with Fujifilm, the NHS, Quorn, The Guardian, The Times, the British Army, NCS, Ithica Films and many, many more. Add to that our Aspiring Young Engineers Programme in partnership with NETA, enhanced study skills development, High Achievers Programme, Student Ambassador Leadership Programme, and so much more - it really is a fantastic time to be a student here at Bede Sixth Form College.
We continue to expand our Institute of Sport and Education (ISE) academies. We are recognised for providing outstanding support for talented sports performers, ensuring that they excel both in competition and academically, and we are a Talented Athlete Scholarship Scheme (TASS) Accredited College.
Most recently we received national awards from the Sixth Form Colleges Association (SFCA), for enrichment and employability opportunities for our students and for our continued efforts to ensure Bede Sixth Form is a sustainable, environmentally friendly campus.
