Our Mission“

We continue to craft a more joyful education.
• Cultivating a vibrant learning experience,motivating us to pursue our individual best.
• Providing a festival of opportunity, enabling us
to discover new passions and develop new talents.
• Building a kind-hearted community,
inspiring us to enhance the lives of others.

BE COMPASSIONATE

BE COURAGEOUS

Because a caring community
fosters belonging. We expect
our community to show kindness
to people of all ages, genders
and ethnicities, maintaining
campuses where every person
feels joyful and energised.

Because fortune favours
the brave. We challenge ourcommunity to stand up for what
is right, providing them with asafe environment where they
can take bold action in pursuitof brilliance.

BE CURIOUS

BE CONSCIENTIOUS

Because wisdom can befound off the beaten track.
We encourage our community
to discover unlikely passions
and hidden niches, releasing
them into a wealth ofopportunities inside andoutside the classroom.

Because dedication is aspearhead of success. We ask
our community to throw
themselves wholeheartedly
into every endeavour, taking
responsibility for their journey
and inspiring others to do
the same.

Bede’s Summer School has the privilege of being part of the
St Bede’s Sussex Trust, a charitable organisation that puts
education, community and sustainability above all else. It is ourbelief that we should be conscientious and compassionate in allthat we do and this is reflected in our provision of Summer Schooland shared values across all aspects of the Trust.

6

Since our school began, Bede’s has had philanthropy
rooted at its very core and many pupils have benefited
from transformational bursaries, demonstrating that ourcore ethos of Compassion, Courage, Conscientiousness
and Curiosity is a living and breathing part of everythingthat we do. In September 2022 we created the Bede’s
Transformational Bursary Fund, and in June 2023 launched
the Bede’s Development Foundation.
The mission of this campaign is to create in excess of twenty 110%
Sixth Form transformational bursaries by 2029; the Senior School’s
50th anniversary at The Dicker. A Bede’s transformational bursary
is worth 110% and targets those from the most disadvantaged
backgrounds and covers a pupil’s fees, transport, uniform andco-curricular programme so that they face no barrier to theopportunities Bede’s provides when they take up their place with us.
Making our bursaries truly transformational.

We want to make a difference
to the lives of young adults
who never ever thought theywould be able to access a
Bede’s education. Ultimately,
it comes down to social mobility,
to creating a ripple effectacross our school, local andwider communities where
every single person is afforded
the opportunities that a Bede’s
education provides – no matter
their background.

Bede’s Transformational Bursary Fund.

For every week booked at the Bede’s Summer School, £20 of thatbooking will be donated to the Bede’s Transformations Bursary
Fund, which means together the Summer School will fund two
110% transformational bursaries a year for those most in need.

School programme and no two weeks are ever the same!

nearby town or an off-site activity, making the most of the wonderful
local and natural attractions across the South East of England.
Saturday excursions are a full-day trip and include a cultural,
touristic or recreational visit to London. A sightseeing option isoffered every week to ensure that students get the chance toexperience the capital’s most famous landmarks.

seaside town such as Eastbourne, Brighton or Hastings. Students

Zoology

Situated at Bede’s Senior School, Dicker, theZoo is home to about 70 different species ofmammals, birds, amphibians, reptiles, fish
and invertebrates. Catering for their individualenrichment needs can be quite a challenge aseach animal has different requirements, as asnake isn’t going to need the same enrichment
as a Squirrel Monkey. As a school, we areenormously lucky to have such a facility
in our portfolio. In animal management,
students look after a range of zoo animals,
and help with the dormouse breeding
programme to increase numbers in the wild.

ENGLISH LEVELS
We accept levels from B1 (Intermediate) to
C2 (Proficiency). We cannot accept Complete
Beginners or Beginners on this course.
Students whose mother tongue is English
are welcome on this course.

ANIMAL HUSBANDRY
Students learn about animal welfare andethics, animal health and disease, animal
behaviour, practical animal husbandry andwork experience in the land-based sector.

ANIMAL CARE & BEHAVIOUR
We feel that a connection with animals isenriching, calming and fulfilling. Feeding
mealworms to a gecko, trying to exercise
a kinkajou, or listening to the calls of ourprimates – brings something to the lives ofthe young people who are privileged to beable to enjoy these opportunities.

ANIMAL HANDLING
Students look at wildlife conservation, both incaptivity and in the wild, the ethics of keeping
animals in captivity, how to health check theirpets, and perhaps most enjoyably – take partin animal handling and feeding sessions, e.g.
they are able to spend time feeding the white
faced owl, cleaning out the Royal Pythons’vivarium, or rearranging the branching in
the home of the Siberian Chipmunks.

To find out what animals are kept at Bede’s Zoo,
please visit Bede’s Zoo official guidebook.

RESEARCH PROJECTTYPICAL DAY

Working in small groups, students complete
daily research tasks based around theirchosen topic of interest and linked to a
species they have learned about. They thenpresent their findings and conclusions within
the class on the last day of the course.

Zoology and Animal Management students
will receive 20 hours of tuition per week.
Specialist topics include animal welfare
and ethics, practical animal husbandry,
animal behaviour, animal classificationand conservation.

2.2 IDENTIFICATION DETAILS

Bede’s offers a year roundco‑educational boarding experiencefor pupils from age 10 to 18 at
both its Prep School on the coast in
Eastbourne, and at its Senior School,a short distance away in Upper Dicker.
At both schools, our international
pupils benefit from our uniqueeducational philosophy, focusedon educating the whole person.
Our Prep School educates children throughto 13 years. As the boarding community at
Bede’s Prep is small, with only 25 children,
it provides a gentle and nurturing experiencefor our junior boarders who join us for
short stays of one term or a year, or longer
term as preparation for boarding at our
Senior School.
The school offers an ambitious academic
programme, which includes EAL support,
alongside its highly regarded sporting
provision. Creativity in the visual andperforming arts is also at the heart of theschool, and pupils also benefit from a rangeof trips and visits throughout the year.
From 13 years of age, pupils move on to the
Senior School, which has over 300 boarders
who live in five boarding houses, manyof which have won awards for design
innovation. The campus spans 120 acresand includes impressive sports facilities
including a gym, pool and water-based
astro, as well as multiple pitches.
All pupils at Bede’s have their own personaltutor who supports them during their timeat the school, ensuring that they settle inwell, are happy in their boarding house andthrive academically.

pupils who join in Year 10. Bede’s also offersa Pre-Sixth one year GCSE programme,
tailored to the needs of pupils who do
not speak English as their first language,
which acts as the perfect preparation for
Sixth Form study.
Bede’s is particularly well regarded for its
sporting provision, offering academies
in football, hockey, cricket and tennis.
International pupils benefit from the highlevel of coaching which is fully integrated
into the school day, allowing them to pursue
their academic goals and develop English
skills alongside.
Our visual and performing arts are also
integral to school life and we attract pupils
from across the world for our art programmein particular, which allows pupils to study
art, design and technology, photography andceramics through to A-level.
Our boarders enjoy busy weekends witha full programme of social events, trips
and activities and are encouraged to takeadvantage of the cultural and academic
enrichment programme offered after school
as well.

founded over forty years ago. We continue tohighly prize the diversity of our community,
and are proud that our alumni community
