Student Leadership

Student leadership 

Student leadership is a vital part of the Personal Development provision at St Bede’s as we strive to provide a transformative Catholic education. We have recently developed the Student Leadership Programme that aims to give students the opportunity to gain leadership skills and engage with the school and the wider community. In most cases, an application process and/or a pupil vote is required. We believe this promotes Catholic Social Teaching and exposes our pupils to important democratic processes. Being a student leader at St Bede’s means that students are key to decision-making and have a responsibility to support and develop the ethos of the school. Students have a real opportunity to bring about change and be key drivers within the school community.  

We are committed to growing student leadership opportunities as we know that pupils grow in character when given the opportunity to take the lead and serve the common good. Outside of the formal leadership roles there are many opportunities to lead on faith in action projects, participate in local and national competitions and represent the school. 

The Student Leadership Programme provides students with the opportunity to take responsibility, promote inclusion and equality, voice opinions and give back to the school and local community through faith in action project work and volunteering.
