There were lots of nervous smiles and brand new uniforms on the playground on Wednesday morning as the new Academic Year dawned. The start of the new term is often an anxious moment, particularly if you are the only one from your primary school transferring to St Bede’s, but Mrs Alex Vyce, Head of Lower Seniors and her team together with Mrs Sandra Pike, Interim Headteacher were on hand to welcome new pupils and allay any fears.
Meanwhile over in Prep, Mrs Claire Hunt and the Prep staff were gathered to greet the new arrivals for Reception together with the many new faces joining throughout the Prep. The only tears on this playground were from the parents as they said goodbye!
New entrants to the Sixth Form were greeted by the Executive and swiftly moved over to the Common Room for coffee and croissants.
