History
In 1976, Bishop Simpson Church of England Girls School amalgamated with St Joseph’s Catholic (mixed) School to create St Bede’s School. The school was the first voluntary-aided joint Church of England and Roman Catholic school to be established in Britain.[1] Initially the school was split between three different sites in the town, but in December 1986, a grant of £1.9M was awarded to enable all teaching to be carried out at a single location.[5][6] Two new buildings were constructed at the Carlton Road site, officially opened in March 1990 by Ronald Bowlby, the Anglican Bishop of Southwark, and Cormac Murphy-O'Connor, the Roman Catholic Bishop of Arundel and Brighton.[7]
Between 1988 and 1999 the school underwent large-scale building works to bring the school together on its present site, and to create new facilities for a library, ICT and careers. In 2004 a new arts centre was opened and in 2006 a sports hall was opened.[8] Starting in 2018, construction began to expand the school's capacity.[9]
