St Bede's Catholic College is a secondary school located in Lawrence Weston, Bristol, England. Since November 2011 it has been an Academy.[1] The school was acknowledged as a "Beacon School" that has an "excellent local and regional reputation."[2] The school also received a rating of outstanding during an Ofsted inspection in 2007.[3] St Bede's takes students from Weston-super-Mare, Clevedon, Nailsea, central Bristol, Bristol's outer suburbs, and most of South Gloucestershire. It has a strong partnership with St Brendan's Sixth Form College in Brislington.

The school was awarded a green flag in the Eco School Awards in July 2004.[4]

Improvements include ICT rooms built in 2004 and the lecture theatre in 2005. Also, more recently, a large block of specialist Art, Food and Design and Technology classrooms were build by Skanska in 2009.
