St. Bede's Catholic Comprehensive School
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
St Bede's is a Catholic Comprehensive school at Peterlee, County Durham. As an ex pupil of the school, I can say that my time at the school was very good and the teachers were helpful and good.

St. Bede's Catholic Comprehensive School is an 11-18 mixed comprehensive for boys and girls living in the East Durham area.
Peterlee is a New Town with good amenities, well laid out housing and a large expense of greenbelt. A Dene (river valley) managed by the National Conservancy Council bisects the town, which is an area of great natural beauty.
The school was officially opened in 1970 by Bishop Hugh Lindsay. It is a well laid out purpose built comprehensive, surrounded by very large playing fields. The school has a large Science block, Technology block, Library, Drama Studio, Sports Hall, separate pastoral areas, specialist teaching blocks and Sixth Form accommodation.

Being a Catholic School, it was a requirement that you went to Church on a Thursday morning and also during Christmas and Easter. I remember doing that short stroll to the church for the mass and then it was back to school for lessons afterwards.
The teachers were great, friendly and taught well. I remember them also being very caring and positive about education.
