St Bede's Catholic College
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.
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 built by Skanska in 2009.
As of 4 July 2012, St. Bede's were granted planning permission to build a Sixth Form building. The project was successfully completed in 2015.
In July 2017 Principal Catherine Hughes announced that she was retiring after 22 years of service to the college. The principal as of 2024 is Robert King.
