St Bede's Catholic School and Sixth Form College is a coeducational secondary school and sixth form with academy status, located in Lanchester, County Durham, England. It has a main block, a language block, a technology/music block, the sixth form block, two fields, tennis/basketball court and an astroturf . On 1 June 2012 the school became an academy, giving it independence from the local authority.

The school opened its new sixth-form centre in November 2007 following a £5 million refurbishment, which included construction work on the new building and rebuilding science laboratories. Sir Tom Cowie, who lived in Lanchester, donated £500,000 to the project which was named in his honour. Notable alumni includes Anne McElvoy, a prolific journalist and Imran Sarwar, Game Designer and Producer on the Grand Theft Auto videogame series.[2] St. Bede's is frequently cited as the top-performing school in County Durham.[3][4]
