Year 1 had a fantastic time taking part in the OAA (Outdoor Adventurous Activities) Festival at South Marine Park! The children worked brilliantly in teams as they used maps to find clues around the park. The maps also helped them to identify places where they could collect natural materials to build a cosy house for a bear. It was a wonderful day filled with teamwork, problem-solving, and lots of outdoor fun!
County Gymnastics Finals – Brilliant Team Bronze!
Our Y3/4 gymnasts represented South Tyneside today at Royal Grammar School in Newcastle in the Gymnastics County Finals. They performed with great courage and incredible skill to present their polished routines to the judges. Amazingly, they were rewarded with a well deserved podium finish to clinch County bronze medals! Our gymnasts were in fantastic company on the podium – alongside previous winners King’s Priory and RGS.
The children also had a great time enjoying a variety of fun gymnastics and trampoline activities in a wonderful setting. I am so proud of your dedication throughout your journey this season and of course your superb performances today!
Y3 Orienteering!
Y3 today enjoyed orienteering around South Marine Park by using their mapwork skills. They navigated around the park in teams to find letters and numbers which helped them to solve a variety of puzzles. During the course, they also embarked on several problem solving activities, where they had to use communication and teamwork skills. The children were fantastic and really embraced the challenges in a wonderful event! Thank you to our fantastic parent helpers!
Y3 District Tennis Champions 2025 & 3rd Place!
Congratulations to our two Y3 tennis teams who enjoyed a great afternoon at Boldon Lawn Tennis Club today. Not only did our B team win brilliant bronze medals, but our A team were simply unstoppable and were crowned District Champions 2025- an outstanding achievement!
The children have only had access to tennis rackets over the last three weeks, but have really enjoyed developing their tennis together, both in PE and during lunch time practises.
It was great having two squads at Boldon for the finals and it was wonderful to see the children play with such skill and enthusiasm.
Congratulations once again to brilliant tennis players and thank you to our fantastic parent helpers at Boldon who gave the children wonderful support.

Our children should be very proud of themselves for their performances and the dedication they showed in preparing for the event. It was wonderful to see the team spirit in our teams as they really supported each other throughout.

Thank you to our fantastic parent helpers who really encouraged our children at the Finals.
Cricket Celebration Day in Partnership with Durham CC & South Shields CC!
Our school enjoyed a wonderful Cricket day to start our term in partnership with Durham CC and South Shields CC. Laura Trotter who represents Durham Cricket Academy delivered an inspiring assembly, before providing coaching for all classes from Y1-Y6 throughout the day.
At the end of the day, Miss Trotter handed out flyers alongside South Shields chairman Patrick Powlett advertising fantastic cricket opportunities this summer at our local club. The children had a great day experiencing cricket in the sunshine; thank you to Laura and Patrick!

District Basketball Finalists at the Vertu Motors Arena in Newcastle!
Our talented basketballers were edged out of the District Grand Final on penalties last night after an excellent performance in Newcastle!
The St. Bede’s players immediately imposed themselves in the final and scored in the opening minute. We continued to play with a lot of attacking flare and created numerous opportunities, but couldn’t quite find a crucial second basket.
With just over a minute to go the opposition created a rare chance, which was clinically finished to bring parity. The St Bede’s players responded instantly, to wrestle back the initiative. We mounted several waves of attacks, as we searched for a winner with several shots bouncing away off the rim of the basket; including a final effort on the buzzer.
The final dramatically went to penalties, where two brave St. Bede’s children stepped up, but it was the opposition who were to triumph 2-1 from the free throw line.
Our players should be incredibly proud of how they played in a great sporting arena, enjoying lots of possession and playing a great final. You represented your school superbly and showed great ability and character that made everyone so proud of you all!
Thank you to our amazing parents and staff who supported the team so positively on a wonderful sporting night in Newcastle.
District Cross Country – Team Silver 2025!
Eight teams from St. Bede’s consisting of 42 children claimed a superb second place in the District Cross Country Championships today!
There were so many highlights from the day, including several children stepping in at short notice due to absences and performing so admirably. We had an incredible 6 podium finishers; the Y3 & Y4 boys won their team events, while many of our teams registered top 3 finishes in their respective year groups.
It was wonderful to have so many boys and girls representing our school in a single event. The children have shown incredible dedication to train for the competition and everyone did their best on the day. I was so proud of how everyone supported each other throughout the event!
While we couldn’t quite retain the shield we had won 4 out of the last 5 years, it was an incredible effort that went all the way to the final race. After looking at the great photos from today, and reflecting on everyone’s amazing efforts, the wonderful community support, I feel a great sense of pride in everyone’s contributions today!
Thank you to all our brilliant runners, parent helpers and those who supported the children at Temple Park! The children will receive well deserved team silver medals in the coming few weeks.
