Wow – What. A. Team!!
Eight teams from St. Bede’s consisting of 41 children became South Tyneside Team Cross Country Champions today!
Firstly, it was wonderful to have so many boys and girls representing our school in a single event. Our children showed incredible energy to support their friends and amazing consistency of high-level performances from Year 3 right through to Year 6.
Our young athletes have shown great dedication to train for the competition and everyone strived for personal best performances on the day. We had 3 individual District Champions, multiple podium finishers and remarkably 5 different year group team champions; ultimately everyone contributed so much to our collective team.
There were many excellent ‘sporty schools’ at the event consisting of over 400 children, so our children should be very proud to be the overall top team on the day.
Personally I was so proud of how everyone relentlessly supported each other and the amazing parental support at Temple Park. When we genuinely support each other, it can take you a long way together.

Today a crocodile visited nursery and read us a story all about himself. The crocodile even spoke in Spanish! Wow! We learned a lot from the clever crocodile. Look at the fun we had!

We’re delighted to invite you to explore our very first St Bede’s Art Gallery, a celebration of creativity, reflection, and faith. Over the past academic year, children from Nursery to Year 5 have taken part in the Spirited Arts competition, exploring the theme “All God’s Creatures.”
Each piece of artwork has been thoughtfully linked to words from Scripture, helping our pupils reflect on the beauty and meaning of God’s creation. From colourful collages to intricate sculptures, the children have poured their hearts into expressing how animals and nature connect to faith, care, and wonder.
🖼️ The gallery is on display for you to enjoy from Monday to Wednesday this week on your way to and from the curriculum meetings. We hope it brings you joy, inspiration, and pride in the incredible work your children have created.
This is our first time hosting an art gallery, and we hope to make it a yearly tradition—not only to showcase our children’s talents, but also to help raise funds for the school.
📖 Before you leave, please take a moment to share your feedback or ideas in the book provided at the door. Your thoughts will help us grow and make future exhibitions even more special.
Thank you for your continued support.

Our children were all amazing in our Summer Sport & Art Club this week! We took full advantage of the dry, sunny weather to enjoy a wide variety of activities around our school grounds.
The children embraced all of the activities with a great attitude and really enjoyed themselves with their friends, while developing new skills. I’m sure the club will also help many of the Infant children in their transition to the juniors in September; while it was a joy teaching our talented children.
I hope you all have a great summer with your families and continue to enjoy keeping active and creative!

Well done to all of our children who enjoyed taking part in our Sports Day in such a positive spirit in the South Shields sunshine. It was great to see them supported by our wonderful school community with so many warm smiles on the day. Congratulations to Bernadette who retained their title by a narrow 3 points with the event going down to the final race. Thank you once again to everyone who made this a lovely community event.
