School Performance Data and Benchmarking
At St Bede’s Catholic Primary School, assessment plays an important role in ensuring that every child achieves their full potential. We use assessment carefully and purposefully to monitor progress, identify next steps and inform high-quality teaching and planning.
Through ongoing assessment, we are able to provide the right support and challenge so that all children can grow in confidence and reach their individual goals.
We are incredibly proud of our pupils’ achievements and are delighted to celebrate our 2026 results, which reflect their hard work, dedication and commitment to learning. Please see the information below for further details.
