Dear Bedian family,

I would like to wish you a very happy New Year and I hope that you all had an enjoyable, holy and restful Christmas period. I am delighted to be writing to you for the first time as the Headmaster of St. Bede’s College and I have been overwhelmed by the warmth of the welcome I have encountered. My fantastic colleagues, parents and pupils have been incredibly friendly to me and I have also received many very genuine offers of support. Thank you so much and I am extremely touched by your kindness. The Easter Term is fully up and running and there is a great buzz around the College, from the Prep School right up to the Sixth Form. We are looking forward to welcoming a great many prospective pupils, and of course their parents, here on Saturday for our annual entrance examinations and I would like to wish them well.
